One Child

Sheila continues to be isolated, disregarding Torey's instructions. Torey continued to be frustrated and also afraid on what she might do next. But that all changed when Torey sat her down and forced her to do math. She was actually astonished on how smart she was, Sheila was smarter than the average 6yr old. So Torey would ask herself how did she learn all this after being abused and left to fend for herself? Did she teach herself how to do math and read? As I continue to read I am curious to know her journey growing up, how a tiny little girl like Sheila survive in todays harsh world and be so educated for her age.

As I continue to read Torey continues to be frustrated with Sheila, how a six year old can be so mischievous, relentless, and no care in the world. Even her pervious teacher would explain what horrible things she would do in school. She would put feces at the bus stops, crumple up work and throw it back to the teacher. I wonder what goes through this little child mind when she does this things. I know she had a rough up bringing but for me personally I would liked to be helped and cared for. She is so used to being abused and neglected that she has blocked herself from everyone

The beginning of the book tells you that parts of the book will enrage you and some parts will make your heart cry. Curious to know what exactly this means I continued to read.  As I continued to read, the story continues to to reel me in. It was about a teacher named Torey, who taught at an elementary school but with children with special needs. Nothing she wasn't use to. Except she discovers that this group of children were a little more different. Each one of them had different needs, one little girl was schizophrenic, one was blind, another autistic, However, the book focused on a little girl who appeared to have no apparent disability. Slowly, I found out the real problem with her, this little girl named Sheila.
