Lisa's son was born in the nearest hospital of her house. She was about to be released. That afternoon the doctor came to visit them in her cabin. He had taken some reports of her son's health. He said that he was sorry but the son was born special. He said to her that her son had born deaf and only a hearing aid could help him.
She was released that day and went to her home. Her husband didn't go to the hospital and also didn't welcomed them home. When she told her husband about their son's health, he immediately walked out on them. So she was left to fend for herself.
She had no savings that she could afford the hearing aid. She went to the shop to buy it. But everything was out of her budget. She asked the shopkeeper for the cheaper one. But he said that he was showing the cheapest one. She had to return home in a bare hand.
She managed a job to run her family. She started working night shifts too to feed the family as well as to save up enough money. She felt tired at handling her kid and to do two shifts. But she never stopped. She lived for her son and it gave her strength.
It took years for her to save up the right amount. And when the boy turned 6, she took him to the doctor. She presented him the best and long cherished device, the hearing aid. Her son was very happy and excited to hear her mother for the first time. He and her mom couldn't wait for the beautiful moment.
The doctor was setting the aid on her son and she told him to hold on and he would be able to hear. She asked him if he could hear his mom. In replied he laughed and hugged his mom. He could hear the beautiful and loving voice of her.
That same year she made the decision. She wanted her child to be admitted into a school. She took him to the school that was for the special children. She met the principal and he forbade her to worry about anything. He assured that their school specialized in and her son would be comfortable there.
The students at that specialized school were quite diverse. And Lisa hoped that they would find an approach to her son. She thought that her son would get friends and it would make him happy finally. She said good luck to her son and left him to the school.
But she could not be more right. One day was returning home after her son's school. He was not looking happy as everyday he used to be seen. She asked him why she was so sad. He didn't reply and she again asked if everything was okay. He was sad but replied a yes.
Everyday her son would come home feeling sad and upset. Even in the morning he got up in a sad mood. She didn't know what was causing that. It went on for a few weeks and she again tried to know about it. She asked him if someone was hurting him. But he replied a no in a sad mood.
So, she decided to talk to his teacher to figure everything out. She was worried and so directly met the teacher. Lisa said to her that her son was sad all the time. She thought that someone was bullying him.
She asked the lady teacher if she knew something about it. The teacher denied everything and said that she even couldn't imagine a thing like that. She forbade Lisa to worry and assured that all the students were very nice kids.
But the mother's heart felt that something was really off. Even at night while sleeping, she could not forget her son's sad face. So, she came up with a different way to learn the truth. Lisa hid a voice recorder in her son's backpack to find out what was going on.
She anxiously waited for her son to come home. She even didn't go to work that day. Because her son's sad face was killing her. And when he returned, she took out the recorder and as soon as possible she went to listen to it.
She was shocked by what she heard in that recording. She could hear her son's voice. He asked his teacher politely if she could repeat that as he couldn't catch it. Then she heard the voice of the lady teacher she met.
The teacher got angry on her son and said that it was not her problem that they were hard of hearing. She again said that she was so sick of the all students. She wished that she would transfer to a normal school with normal kids as soon as she got the opportunity. She exclaimed that the special kids are just useless.
Lisa could learnt that he kids were not at fault; the teacher herself was the main culprit. She was hurting her son and other children. The following day she went to the school and went to the principal. And the principal listened to her recording. He apologized and said that that was outrageous.
The teacher go ta dishonorable dismissal. She was leaving the school and all the teachers and students were there. When she was passing by one of them said that people like her shouldn't be allowed anywhere near kids. Another one said that she had no shame. She had to leave with the ultimate rebuking.
And the kids got a new teacher in her place. She was sweet and well behaved with the students. She never mind to repeat anything and felt sympathy for her students. Soon, she became her students' champion. And she gave them all her love and care.
Children are innocent and fragile creatures. It is easy to hurt them. Give them love and care or don't work with them at all.
