Assertion Journal 8

I believe in my parents, more than they know. When they found out my brother would be born with severe disabilities, they weren't bitter. They made the best of our situation and gave my siblings and I the most normal life we could have. Although I try to avoid saying much about it, I realize having a sibling with special needs has completely changed our lives. After reading, I Am Capable of More Than I Think I Am, I realized it made me think of my family. I believe we were given my brother for a reason, to bring us together and teach us lessons of responsibility, kindness, and strength. I believe my family is stronger because of this situation that has been given to us. I wouldn't change our lives or my brother if I was given the choice. My brother has unknowingly taught me life lessons I would have otherwise never known.
