But Tom exceeded the doctors' expectations.Reluctantly,the doctors agreed to let Tom attend a regular school.Although he experienced periods of difficulty,he not only gradated from high school,but also completed two-and-a-half years of college.Somewhere along the way,his mental disability was found to be emotionally based and was treated properly.I'm glad Lee didn't give up on that child,because that child with the rough start in life was me.Today I'm on medication to control my emotional ups and downs.And when I look back on my early years,I thank God I had a mother who was so stubborn that she wouldn't listen to the doctors' pessimistic predictions for my bleak future.My mother loved me enough to listen to what her heart told her instead -- that the best weapon in a fight for a child is a lot of faith and a lot of love.
