I met him before.. I met him on our 4th grade trip years and years ago. He was very quiet and never spoke to anyone, he seemed a lot younger for his years. We were all buying music, cloths and walkmans. I remember he bought toys, lots of toys. He played with them on the floor by himself, I watched him I remember and realized he was probably slow for his age. I have a brother who has down syndrome so I had experience in noticing that kind of stuff. When he played all by himself on the floor, he made all kinds of noises.. the saddest part was I saw other kids making fun of him picking on him:( I remember feeling so sad for him.. I knew how it felt to be picked on and bullied as well. I remember I tried to comfort him and say hi and asked him about his toys. He started talking to me, with a racing slurred speech, telling me all about his toys. He seemed so sweet to me and I noticed that he knew how to block out the bullying..he kept to himself and ignored the bullying.He was just a child.
