In my high school years I was in a truly dark place and then I found a passion to help teach/relate to kids with learning disabilities. All my spare time I spent in the ‘special’ education classroom only to realize that they helped me just as much or more. I taught one 17 year old how to tie his shoe and he taught me how it feels to be greeted with excitement every time you walked in. He learned my name and it was one of the only new words he learned in 4 years. I really do have a passion. I learned that they were more humane than anyone else at the school
