My experience helping the special ed kids was interesting, and gave me a new perspective about human emotions. As I interacted with them, they were in ecstasies over the most superficial things.  Never before have I seen people so happy and so involved in something so trivial and naïve. It shed on new light on my concept of happiness. True happiness is not having something, such as a cool phone, a cute dog, an awesome friend, or a flashy car. It is finding something you love, something you enjoy doing so much that when you wake up you are so excited that you literally fly out the door. These people have found their passion long before we ever will. We should not look down upon these people; we should not even feel any sympathy towards them. We should envy them, as these are the kinds of people that are truly happy.
