I am studying at a cafe right now, and just a few seconds ago, I heard these footsteps to my right, running towards the cashier. I looked to see who could be running for their Turkey Sandwich, and saw a tiny person who may or may not have a height genetic defect. It made me smile, not because it was cute, but because I love living in a world where "normal" people do not belittle those who have a genetic defect.
Growing up, I witnessed my peers make fun of short people, those who do not fit the norm. I admit, I even participated in ridiculing "abnormal" people. However, I never understood why I joined the norm. As a child, I remember myself wanting to avoid becoming an outcast.
