Plot/story elements:

Did I feel attached to the story or poem?

I was a Special Education teacher for years so I think characters like Todd are so important to illustrate how important stories are from the eyes of a disability. I love Sammy's character. What a great ending!


Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else?

It's important that we highlight patience and fortitude in these stories. In Special Education circles there's an emerging counseling and teaching idea called teaching grit. And all it really means is teaching the point of view that attitude is everything and learn to expect failure, and use the failure to better yourself. Stories like these are a great way to illustrate that concept.


Was there a clear purpose to it?

Absolutely, and it's highly relevant and needed. We need more pieces of literature like this and I'm so glad I stumbled across it.


Glows:

The story is well written with no grammar mistakes that I found. You do a great job at writing the friendship of Sammy and Todd. There really there for each other and that bond paints a beautiful picture.

Miscellaneous Comments:

On a personal note, thank you for writing this piece. It's so important that we continue these sorts of efforts in the writing community and I need to remember to remain cognizant of that.
