The Driving Test
Well today I watch an episode of the "Little People, Big World" to get me a sense of idea of what else to add to my paper. The episode that I've watch was when the two brothers were going to take a driving test. Zach and Jeremy were at driving school hoping to pass the exam with 80 points or better. Zach was quite arrogant and felt proud to be smarter than Jeremy, because though Jeremy was a normal height son he was not really smarter than Zach in school. However, Jeremy actually took the time to read the book, while Zach felt confident that he was smart enough that he did not feel the need to read the book. He was mistaken he did not realize that part of the exam were questions that were ambiguous and just vague. Zach did not pass the driving test that day, he had a 64, which was below 80 causing him to fail the exam. Jeremy pass the exam with an 80. This episode shows how someone with a disability may feel superior over someone without the the disability. I understand the fact that little people may feel less appreciated in comparison to someone without the disability specially if it was a comparison to a relative such ones sibling(s). It did not end so well on Zach that day and he had to realize that there are more to just being normal or special. He did not take in to full consideration the other necessary things needed to be fully superior or at least be the best at a specific idea or activity.
