"My own dream of becoming a special educator began in a most unlikely place on the Bremen, an ocean liner headed for Germany. At that stage in life I was thinking about starting college and changing careers from that of being an actress. My companion and I were seated in the dining room with a family of three: a couple and their 26-year-old daughter, a woman with Down syndrome. Her parents were amazing individuals who accepted the unique qualities of their daughter and respected her as the young adult she was. They had just given her a large German shepherd dog for which she was completely responsible. Seeing her parents' patience as they taught her how to train the dog made a strong impression on me. I realized that with the right kind of teaching, every individual could succeed: it wasn't a question of individual potential but of fulfilling it. That realization gave me the direction I sought and from then on it was mere logistics." |
