Ten\u00e9 Martin is gediagnoseer met outisme op sesjarige ouderdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sal nooit die dokter se woorde vergeet nie. Hy het ges\u00ea dat ek haar vir terapie moes laat gaan, soveel en so gereeld as moontlik. Dis hoe ons uiteindelik by die perde beland het,\u201d s\u00ea Thelma Martin, haar ma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die perdry-klasse \u2013 ook bekend as Equine-therapy \u2013 het Ten\u00e9 se hele persoonlikheid verander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waar sy altyd \u2019n skaam, teruggetrokke meisie was, borrel sy nou omtrent oor van selfvertroue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thelma s\u00ea die pad wat \u2019n mens stap is nie altyd maklik nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer Ten\u00e9 sukkel met iets het sy altyd iemand wat wil help, maar wanneer dit by opregte vriende kom wat haar nooi om saam te speel, is daar maar min wat haar regtig aanvaar soos sy is\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By outistiese kinders of in Ten\u00e9 se geval, kinders met Aspergersindroom, \u2019n vorm van outisme, is hul grootste probleem juis hul vermo\u00eb om met ander kinders te sosialiseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie kinders verstaan hulle nie en spot of terg hulle. Gelukkig het die meeste kinders wat saam Ten\u00e9 in die klas is haar aanvaar soos sy is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit beteken nie sy word nie genooi na partytjies nie. Sy is soms alleen. Haar vermo\u00eb om sosiaal met ander mense te verkeer het egter baie verbeter vandat sy perdry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodra jy deel van \u2019n span is, leer jy om met ander mense te kommunikeer en leer jy wat sosiaal aanvaarbaar is en wat om nie te s\u00ea nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten\u00e9 het geleer dat \u2019n mens nie sommer alles s\u00ea wat jy dink nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook geleer dat sy haarself kan wees wanneer sy by haar perd is en sy gesels land en sand met haar perd, Sady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thelma s\u00ea die grootste les wat Ten\u00e9 by die perdry-lesse geleer het, is dat jy hard moet werk om te bereik wat jy wil bereik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy werk nog steeds met \u2019n dier, wat soms onvoorspelbaar is en jy moet paraat wees vir enige iets wat kan gebeur. By een kompetisie het haar perd geskrik en Ten\u00e9 het afgeval. Sy was gediskwalifiseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDan moet \u2019n mens maar weer jou moed bymekaar skraap en harder werk vir die volgende kompetisie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit leer jou deursettingsvermo\u00eb en om aan te hou probeer totdat jy iets regkry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer jy dit dan regkry of \u2019n medalje wen, gee dit jou selfvertroue \u2019n groot hupstoot. Dit leer jou dat jy enige probleem in die lewe op dieselfde manier kan aanpak en oorwin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten\u00e9 het vanjaar die vyfde jaar agtereenvolgens aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Ruiterkuns\u00adfederasie (Sanesa) se kampioenskappe deelgeneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanesa is \u2019n organisasie wat \u2019n voorstaander is vir die ontwikkelling van perdry vir kinders in skole in Suid-Afrika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thelma s\u00ea Sanesa het \u2019n groot rol in Ten\u00e9 se ontwikkelling in die sport gespeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarvoor sal ons altyd dankbaar wees. Sy het nie altyd so sterk kompetisie nie, maar sy probeer nogtans haar bes en kry goeie terugvoer van die bekwame beoordelaars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten\u00e9 het op die nasionale byeenkoms in Kyalami van 2 tot 7 Oktober twee goue medaljes verower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is bitter trots op haar\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy word afgerig deur Belinda Basson van BRS Equestrian Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit leer jou deursettingsvermo\u00eb en om aan te hou probeer totdat jy iets regkry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
