remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a test. I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions about material we had just read, things weren’t sticking with me after reading to feel confident to raise my hand and be active with discussions. I would have to search for answers in my memory for some time. Sometimes answers just weren’t retrieved at all. I became frustrated in school often, and eventually developed
Having a mental illness makes me different. At least that's what society says. How can one not start to believe it when it's all they have been exposed to?

What does being different means to you? To me, being different means being myself. Can you just imagine everyone on the earth identical, thinking the same way, talking the same way, and liking the same things? It’s my choice to become who I want. No one can make me be remorseful about myself. I believe that it’s my choice to different. At ten, during recess, kids were racing, and playing games.

I can tell the story of your family and before all the t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted I can give you just a little piece of my soul. My talent that has set me apart from others has been my art, but living my life as a multifaceted person I don’t think it's that simple to say “The thing that makes me different is my art,” is to put me in a box with other individuals that have declared the same statement.
