A Special Child
Christopher Funk is a cheerful, handsome 5-year-old who

newborns. When he was born, a doctor told his parents that he was probably
mentally retarded and would never walk or control his bodily functions —
in short, that he would be a vegetable.

purified terephthalic acid, or PTA, the raw material of polyethylene
terephthalate — better known as polyester — a product that forever
changed the world as we once knew it.

Least You Should Know About Outlining Your Story

between a powerful story with depth, or a mediocre tale; a paycheck, or a
rejection letter.
