    “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.
