The protagonist is a patient with Tourette's syndrome. There is no cure in the world, and he can only let his friends who have arrived since the age of 6 stay in the same body as him. He would make strange noises involuntarily, twitch his neck, and shake his legs. Fragments from the protagonist's childhood often use "I can't help it" to explain his symptoms, but no one believes him except his mother, most people suspect that he is intentional, and often teach him to "control" it". Fortunately, he has a mother who loves him. The greatness of a mother's love lies in her selfless support and belief in her children. After confronting a principal, she began to doubt the doctor's diagnosis. She went to the library to borrow many medical books, trying to find a way out for her children. Finally found the answer in a thick medical book, and the little friend who has been with the protagonist since the age of 6 also has a name called "Tourette Syndrome". When the mother learned that there was no cure for the disease, perhaps she had held back hope for too long and cried uncontrollably. The protagonist, however, was very strong, and in turn comforted his mother. I admire him for this quality.
Since there is no cure, face it calmly. This is what the mother taught the protagonist. When she brought the protagonist to the "Tourette Syndrome" mutual aid club, she found that the people here did not want to help each other, and they competed to compromise, and resolutely left with the child. The mother said, do you have to be bored at home when you have this disease? Do not! Challenging the injustices of the world, I admire her for that quality. Calm head and excellent thinking ability and strong attitude towards life in the face of difficulties. I think a large part of the optimism and self-confidence that the protagonist showed later was given by this mother, who taught her children how to look at difficulties and how to deal with them. This, in life, is very important!
The protagonist's situation in school has been bad since childhood. He was often criticized by teachers, laughed at by classmates, and was invited to the principal's office, but these failed to make him retreat from school. This kind of perseverance is something that many of our students do not have. I think there are three reasons why the protagonist does this. First, he understands himself, second, he believes in himself, and third, he is truly being himself.
The change in his situation at school is due to a principal who knows how to educate and understand children, and of course the hero's own efforts. When he was dispatched to the principal again at his new school for disrupting the classroom with a strange noise, the principal took the step of sending him to a school-wide concert. He began to refuse because he knew himself and would make strange noises to interfere with concerts, but the principal insisted on letting him go. During the performance, it was inevitable that strange noises would continue, attracting everyone's attention and blame. After the performance, the principal stated that the strange sound affecting the performance was made by the protagonist and asked him to come on stage. Although he was a little uneasy, he still came to the stage to face everyone, at least he didn't escape. When the principal asked him the reason, he still answered "I can't help it" and told the principal that it was a disease and there was no cure. Perhaps the principal's original intention was to let him know that his strange voice affected others, and he should change it later. But when he heard that there was no cure, the principal gave great trust and support, saying "how can we help you". (I was in tears when I heard this sentence, what a loving principal) The protagonist expressed his point of view firmly and clearly, and hoped that the students would not look at him in a strange way. When he stepped off the stage, the audience burst into applause of encouragement and understanding. His school career started off well. This inspired him to want to be a teacher.
Growing up, his focus on finding a job has been at school. After more than 20 failed interviews, I finally had the best interview and successfully became a teacher in the second grade of elementary school. In the first class, many children began to like her. These children knew about their teacher's illness. Most of them were curious, and only one child laughed. Later, the child who laughed at him was also influenced by his patience and education. Of course, there will be parents who don't understand and transfer their children out of this class, but this does not hinder the child's love for him, nor does it hinder the protagonist's teaching enthusiasm and self-confidence. I think his focus and seriousness have left his illness far behind. Finally, being named the best teacher of the year is the result of his unremitting efforts. Seeing the children cheering at the news, I know his students are truly proud of him. To be honest, I also want to have this state, so, come on!
Confidence, strength, persistence, friendliness, and uncompromisingness are the shining points I can see from this film. Such a person, such a life, is interesting, and it can be said that there is a little bit of greatness!
