Pablo Pineda - Ser Diferente Es Un Valor (Pablo Pineda - Being Different Is a Value) [Spanish]

By Albert Bosch and Maria Sala

Book Overview

Winner at the 2017 Moonbeam Spirit Award and at the 2017 International Latino Book Awards. Pablo Pineda is the first European with Down Syndrome to obtain a university degree. This is his endearing story, which reminds us that the only disability is not understanding that all of us have different abilities.

Pablo was born into a loving family. When his parents realized that his baby had different capacities from the rest of the children, they did not hesitate for a second to teach him how to be the best version of himself. His family supported him and helped him to go ahead as an independent person. As Pablo grew up, his passion for learning did only increase. Although society dictated that Pablo deserved special care, he demonstrated that being different can also lead to success, and became the first European with Down Syndrome to obtain a university degree. Pablo has achieved several triumphs throughout his life and has become a popular figure. He is a lecturer, teacher, writer, and recently he has been awarded the Silver Shell at the San Sebastian Festival for his acting carreer. But his greatest achievement is setting an example and inspiring children to follow their dreams.

Medalla de oro en los premios Moonbeam Spirit Award e International Latino Book Awards de 2017. Pablo Pineda es el primer europeo con s?ndrome de Down en obtener un t?tulo universitario. Esta es su entra?able historia, que nos recuerda que la ?nica discapacidad es la de no entender que todos tenemos capacidades diferentes.

Pablo naci? en una familia llena de amor, que cuando se dio cuenta de que su beb? ten?a capacidades diferentes al resto de los ni?os, no dud? ni un segundo en ense?arle a ser la mejor versi?n de s? mismo. Sus padres lo apoyaron y le ayudaron a convertirse en una persona aut?noma, y Pablo creci? con muchos sue?os que alcanzar. Aunque la sociedad dictaba que Pablo merec?a unos cuidados especiales, ?l demostr? que no hay una ?nica manera de llegar a la meta y, vali?ndose de su propio talento, logr? convertirse en el primer europeo con S?ndrome de Down en obtener un t?tulo universitario.

Pablo ha cosechado varios triunfos a lo largo de su vida hasta llegar a ser una figura muy popular: es conferenciante, maestro, escritor, actor galardonado con la Concha de plata del Festival de San Sebasti?n... Pero su mayor logro es, sin duda, servir de ejemplo para aquellos ni?os que le seguir?n.
