My learning disability

I’ve had a learning disability my whole life. My cord was wrapped around my neck during birth which made my oxygen low.

Through hard work and the support of family friends and teachers I was able to graduate high school. This was the happiest day of my life.  I was in special ed classes all through school.

Due to my learning problem it made it hard to find a job and there weren’t many jobs I could do. Most of my jobs were in restaurants. I was the best dishwasher or vegetable prep person there.

I’ve never lived on my own. That was a big dream I had. But it’s okay.

I’ve had people be rude and ugly to me my whole life. They don’t know me and what they say don’t matter. They are the ones acting stupid for everyone to see and hear.  They have to down other people in order to make themselves feel good.

I want to say to others who have a learning disability or any disability YOU ARE IMPORTANT AND LOVED JUST AS YOU ARE,  Don’t let anyone tell you or make you feel any different. If they try, don’t listen to them.   Just be and do your best.  I am. Bye
