My Brother
Hiya, I am Allie, I am a student in Mac 2, 4th grade, and in this article I am going to be talking about someone very special in life to me. My dear older brother. He's in Ms. McCarthy’s 6th grade class. My brother’s name is Eliot. If you're reading this you might have seen Eliot in the hallways of Lake Bluff either walking class to class or on his bright red bike.
Something special about my brother's eyes is that one of them is shaped like a cat's eyes called a ‘Coloboma’ and he has two different colored eyes called ‘Heterochromia’ and only 1% of the world wide have it. He was born on the date of July 11th 2013 and is the age of 11. He has had an outstanding number of surgeries ( 5 ). One was an open heart surgery that was so needful because I think he would not be alive without it.
If by now you haven’t guessed this but my brother has ‘Au-Kline’ ( It's a special need Syndrome close to Down’s Syndrome.) It can affect you in many ways but it affects my brother in the ways of… He has trouble understanding how your emotions work very well, and he thinks differently. But overall he still has big feelings himself like happy / excited / and even mad or stressed out.
Eliot is overall an amazing person and if you really get to know him he could turn out to be your best friend. I’ve heard unkind things toward Eliot so after this article I expect not to hear that.
P.S. Eliot if you're reading this you’re the best brother ever ♥️.
Thanks for reading my paragraphs, byeee!
