“Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?”
Sounds familiar? Yes, you are right, this is a famous line from the evil queen of the fairy tale “Snow White”. She is a queen who has no satisfaction with regards to her physical appearance. Reality check, once or twice in our life, we became like her. We envied someone and wished to be like him or her. We are not satisfied with our physical appearance. If we could just reflect on how lucky we are for having a physically complete and healthy body compared to physically and mentally challenged individuals, I guess there is no room for insecurities.
People with disabilities may think that they are futile and have no room in this world. They do not see the assurance of bright future. But Anthony Peralta, an intellectually challenged Grade 11 student of Bacnar National High School, proved that disability is not a hindrance to success. Cliché as it may sound but this is how he boosts himself to combat life from infinite judgments and hypocrisy.
Peralta bagged a bronze medal from the 3rd Asian Youth Para Games held at Dubai, United Arab Emirates last December 8-14, 2017 and the only athlete from Luzon to compete in the prestigious event. He is an epitome of positivism and source of inspiration for others. He is really a jewel of San Carlos City when it comes to sports (Athletics) for the oozing laurel that he brought in 2017 Palarong Pambansa and hoping to make another history this year.
Below are the lists of Anthony’s eye-popping achievements.

This young lad was molded and trained by Ms. Princess Delin Pasuquin, a SPED teacher from Bacnar National High School. According to Ms. Pasuquin, Anthony is a shy and introvert individual. But behind his flaws, he is trying to live a normal life. In fact he has a girlfriend who accepted him for who he is. Like a fairy tale, I guess Anthony found his princess and hoping to end happily.
