My son Joey was born with club feet．The doctors told us that he would be able to walk，but would never run very well．By the time he was eight，you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk．
The children in our neighborhood ran around playing，and Joey would join them， run and play，too．We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children．So he didn’t know．
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team．Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others．Although the entire team runs，only the top seven runners score for the school．We didn’t tell him he probably would never be on the team，so he didn’t know．
