Why I'm telling my story.
My hope is to inspire others who struggle with reading and writing to never give up. I dream of a world where we can speak openly about the challenges we face in life. Open conversation can open minds and hearts. No matter who we are, we are all students and teachers. We learn from each other and are stronger together. You are not alone.
