DAMNIT......WHY.....

well, as you can see from the title of this one......i haven't had a good day. as most of you know...I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY, not just one but 3. I have Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorders, and A.D.D.

there is no easy way to put this....sometimes just have rough days with my disability. i was sitting in class and the teacher's asst. who was directing the nutrition discussion started to tell us what we needed to do for the inclass work....well, i have a hard time with math .....and that is what we happened to do in our discussion. i was afraid to say that i needed help...well i just waited while everyone left so i could go talk to the T.A. and see what i can do.

my point is that...people like me have rough days. i absolutely hate dealing with this every single day of my life. i try to let my friends know about it...but they just don't understand. i know that they won't think different of me. i wish they could really understand what i go through. when i have days like this it hurts so bad some days i just feel like i am only 2 inches tall.

if i had a wish.....i wish that i could trade brains with just one person for one day to see what it would be like to read a text book in 2hrs. rather then 4 to 5 hrs. and do homework in half the time it takes me to do mine. that is what i would wish for if it was granted.

i know i have this problem for a reason (i just don't know why...yet) and i just have to trust.

but as of right now i just want to be upset and deal with it slowly. i really hate this....but at the same time i accept it.

Maybe your friends do not understand but we do. We have seen how hard it is and the struggle you have. Our hearts go out to you...but I know your struggle is making you strong and because you have to "trust," you will be the better for it. We KNOW that all of this is working for your good and not to do you harm. It is keeping you humble. It is making you compassionate for others.

Most would have quit years ago. You haven't because you are an over-comer. At this moment, I couldn't be more proud . . . you are awesome!!!

One other thing...you will be an inspiration to others...many others...who are going through this same ordeal. They need to know they are not alone and disabilities can be overcome in spite of a world that cannot possibly understand.
