In my double profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS．The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life．They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great 1 can be found in a weak small body．Let me tell you about Tyler．
Tyler was 2 infected with HIV, as his mother was an HIV carrier．From the very beginning of his life, he was 3 on medications to enable him to survive．When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a vein （静脉） in his chest．This tube was connected to a pump, which he earned m a small backpack on his back．Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through the 4 to his bloodstream．At times, he also needed additional oxygen to support his breathing．
