Since I was excited about having to wear a uniform for the first time I wore a dress that showed my arms and legs. Apparently none of the children knew what kind of disease I had and no one wanted to be my friend. My teacher tried to help me find friends and was unsuccessful until a new girl became my friend until middle school where we ended up drifting apart. To this day I haven’t met a single person with the disease I had, excluding a girl I met while getting treatment. My self esteem was very low and I was an easy target to bullying. I made friends with two boys who got picked on for being my friends in middle school. There were several other personal problems which made middle school a massive obstacle

Many people consider deafness a disabilitya handicap that leads to problems or failure. I am proof that this stereotype is false.

Everyone has difficult obstacles in their lives. I have had a few myself and they each have changed me for the better. My most profound experience was being repeatedly molested as a child.

I shared this publicly as an adult to help other parents realize that children need to be protected. It was a long journey to reach to the point where I could speak about my experiences with anyone. These experiences from my childhood affected me deeply; however, I have overcome them, learned from them and I have contributed at a higher level because of them.
