About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college,
I was working as an intern at my University's Museum of Natural History. One
day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly
couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of
perched on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head,
neck and torso. She was wearing a little white dress with red polka dots.
As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the
register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the
money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the
cutest, largest smile I have ever seen. All of a sudden her handicap was gone
and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost
instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me
from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world; a world of
smiles, love and warmth.
That was ten years ago. I'm a successful business person now
and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think
about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.
