Crystal Minster wins ARC essay Crystal Minster of lone, the winner of the ARC (Association of Retarded Citizens) essay con test, read her winning essay at the ARC of Umatilla County annual awards banquet held June 18. Minster received a $500 scholar ship for her essay. Following is the essay. IMAGINE I heard him crying in his room again last night. How could peo ple so ignorantly assume that he has no feelings? I see children stare at him, and adults avert their sympathetic glance. Do they think he doesn’t notice? Who is the mentally retarded one I often have to wonder. I heard him cry ing and I went up to comfort him, to tell him it would be all right. I told him what I always tell him, soon everyoe would learn how to treat people like him. I instantly get a wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach each time this hap pens. This child could have been normal if I hadn’t messed up. This is all my fault. This is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. FAS is a mental disorder caus ed by the use of alcohol during pregnancy. In the first 5 weeks of my pregnancy I often had three to four drinks a day, I didn’t even realize I was pregnant. As soon as I found out, I quit immediate ly. It was too late. I had always dreamed of having a child. I knew everything I would teach him. I was always going to raise him as I was raised, saying he sea and shore. Lottery funds Lottery d o e s n 't could be anything he wanted, all he had to do was work for it. I had heard this cliche ever since I first grasped a crayon with my pudgy three year old fingers. I have always lived by those words, and been awed by the con cept of all the possibilities I have in store for my life. My perfect motherly image was shattered when I learned my beloved baby had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. When looked at from an ignorant view point, society is so savage and unfeeling that it is almost in comprehensible. To feel less love for a person who is mentally disabled is without reason. I see my son suffer every day because he is not treated as an equal. It is solely because of a mental disorder that he has absolutely no control over. He is the helpless and innocent one. Imagine being a person who could not concentrate, who only had a brief memory, and who could not learn from mistakes. Imagine being unable to strive for that ultimate dream because you are not physically or mentally capable. Then imagine how it must feel to have a child like this, and the realization that all of it could have been avoided. Imagine. Now help me to spread the word, so future mothers will be aware of what can happen, and know how to avoid it. So that no one else in the world ever had to do anything more than imagine.
