H

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 25 May 2009 in People & Portrait.

H is Caleb's classmate. He has celebral palsy and attends the school to socialise as he is already attending a special school. Before Caleb's class began their match, H is supposed to race to a ribbon to cut it to symbolise opening the race. His legs look small and weak but his face looked set with determination. When the whistle blew, he used all his might to push his wheel clutch, biting his lips and racing forward.

As i watched him, i cried. A 4-year-old boy, unfazed by his disability, racing forward with all his might. His parents must be very very proud of him.

Go H,go!
