    Was there any early signs growing up? What was going to Special Education classes like? If you could change it would you?

      “Was there any early signs growing up?”

      Too many to count. I learn to speak at a later age then others. I wasn’t able to read a book until I was 9. I always learnt slower then the other kids in my school and instructions and guides just didn’t click.

      “What was going to Special Education classes like?”

      Very isolating. I couldn’t be with any of friends and being special needs does single you out and make target for mockery. Not to mention it leaves a nasty stain on your record.

      “If you could change it would you?”

      Ever since I was a little girl all I’ve wanted to be is normal. Absolutely.
