W: You say your head aches all the time?

M: Yes.

W: Is the pain at the front of your head or the back?

M: Look, I gave all these details to the receptionist when I came in. Do I have to go through it all again?

W: I’m afraid so. I have to get the details, take blood samples, and check your blood pressure. Only then can the doctor have a look at you.

M: I’m sorry. This headache makes me bad-tempered. A nurse’s life can’t be easy.

W: It isn’t, but don’t worry about me. Let’s deal with your problem.

M: Will the doctor examine me in here?

W: No, I do the checks in the examination room. Then you can see the doctor in his consulting room. Depending on what he finds, he might send you to the X-ray department.

M: Does this doctor know anything about headaches? On the door it says Heart and Lung Department.

W: We are using their room because the Head and Neck Department and the Accident Department are both being modernized.

M: Everything here seems to make my headache worse. I really do need to see the doctor.

W: Calm down. Getting annoyed won’t help. A few more checks, and then he will see you. I’m sure he’ll find a way to make you feel better.

W: Hey, Jack. Have you thought about having a second child?

M: Honestly, as an only child growing up, I’ve always had this idea that “one is enough”. But these days I’ve been reconsidering the idea.

W: Oh yeah? What’s changed your mind?

M: A couple of things. For one, we’ve got an aging population. For another, we’ve got a lack of workforce.

W: Fair, but I assume that’s not the main reason.

M: No, definitely not. My wife and I both think my son could use some company. He doesn’t have a playmate now.

W: Makes sense! I’m the eldest of three siblings, and I can tell you that I was never alone when growing up. So, what’s holding you back?

M: Well, it’s hard enough balancing work and one kid, let alone two kids.

W: True. The high cost of childcare and living could just be another pressure, too.

M: Yup. My wife is also concerned that having a second child might hurt her career.

W: Mmm… it happens.

M: Exactly. So, we’ll just wait until the time is right.

John Cronin, who has Down syndrome, graduated from his high school in 2016 and wanted to start a business with his dad. His initial idea was to be a food truck, but they quickly turned it down because neither of them knew how to cook. John then came up with the idea of turning his love of socks with fun designs into a business.

“John’s Crazy Socks” was launched on December 9, 2016, and became an immediate success. What makes this company so special are the 4 principles the Cronins stand by. The first is their commitment to hiring people with disabilities. The second is giving back. They donate 5% of their earnings to the Special Olympics, a program from which John has benefited greatly. The third is their wide range of sock choices, including over 1,200 pairs of fun, crazy themed socks, such as valentine’s socks, awareness socks, and music themed socks, among others. The fourth principle is gratitude. Every package is paired with a hand written thank-you note from John.

John hopes to continue inspiring others with his company’s success. Given time, opportunity, and support, people with disabilities can achieve their dreams.“It is possible,” John told TODAY.
