JUST NOW FEELING OK WITH MYSELF

AGAINST ALL ODDS , I BECAME A TEACHER TO CREATE A SURROUNDING, AND ENVIRONMENT CONTAINING THE MOST CELEBRATED METHODS, STUDIES, AND MY INVENTIONS 2 ASSIST CHILDREN IN BEING SUCCESSFUL IN SPITE OF OUR ANTEQUATED SYSTEM OF EDUCATING CHILDREN IN CHAIRS, IN ROWS, AND FACING A PERSON, OR BOARD OF SOME KIND.. I TURNED 68 IN NOVEMBER, AND STILL MUST TELL MYSELF DAILY THAT I AM NOT A MISFIT, THAT I AM EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, AND THAT I JUST NEED TO BE WHERE I DO FIT IN, AS THE MARVELOUS PERSON I AM. KIDS ALWAYS TELL ME THIS, "FINALLY , SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS US." WE MUST VALUE THE MINDS OF EACH CHILD BY PROMOTING SUCCESSFUL WAYS IN WHICH EACH PERSON WILL LEARN. NO ONE KNEW THAT I COULD NOT SEE THE BLACKBOARD UNTIL I WAS 10 YEARS OLD. I DID  NOT SEE OBJECTS IN THE SAME WAY THE TEACHERS EXPECTED SO, IT BECAME MY FAULT, AND NOT THEIRS 4 NOT KNOWING A BETTER WAY. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT I CHOOSE 2 BE FUNNY IN ORDER 2 COPE.  NO, I AM FUNNY!!!! IT IS A VERY SPECIAL FORM OF INTELLIGENCE THAT TOO FEW WITH AADHD HAVE. WE NEED 2 BEGIN WITH THE INTERESTS CHILDREN HAVE, AND THEN INCORPORATE WAYS IN WHICH 2 DEVELOP THEIR EXPLODING THOUGHTS INTO SUCCESSFUL WAYS 2 SEE A SUBJECT, OR A PATTERN, OR AN OBJECT. WE ARE LOSING OUR VISIONARIES 2 OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE WE ELIMINATE ALL SUBJECTS THAT FIT THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN, AND BRING THEM 2 SCHOOL. STRUGGLING JUST 2 BARELY GET BY, IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. CHANGE WHAT WE ARE DOING!!!! I TURNED 68 IN NOVEMBER, AND HOPE TO PUBLISH A REMARKABLE HISTORY OF ONE PERSON'S JOURNEY WITH THE SEVEREST FORM OF AADHD. A TEACHER IN 4TH GRADE ENCOURAGED ME TO WRITE, WHETHER , OR NOT I COULD MAKE IT NEAT. OUR BRAINS JUST DO NOT COOPERATE WITH OUR SENSES. MEDICATION MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE AFTER YEARS OF FAILURE, AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 2 SUCCEED.THAT FEELING OF INSECURITY, AND INFERIORITY NEVER LEAVES ONCE THESE NOTIONS HAVE BEEN POUNDED INTO YOUR HEAD ON A DAILY, RECURRING BASIS. WE HAVE SO MUCH 2 GIVE. NO ONE SHOULD BE MADE 2 FEEL LESS THAN HE OR SHE DESERVES TO FEEL BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE CAN DEMEAN ANOTHER PERSON . WE ALWAYS KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IS PATRONIZING.   WE ALSO, KNOW THE IMPENDENT DANGERS ABOUT 2 HAPPEN THAT THE AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT KNOW, NOR UNDERSTAND. AND, YET, WE ARE ALWAYS ASKED, "ARE YOU SURE?".  AND "HOW COULD YOU KNOW?" OR, "YOU MUST HAVE ASKED SOMEONE!" NOTHING IN OUR BRAINS IS EVER SET IN STONE. BRAINS WILL ALWAYS DELIVER SOME NEW WAY IN WHICH TO DEVELOP MACHINES MUCH FURTHER ALONG THAN THE BRAIN SCANS WE NOW HAVE 2 DISCOVER NEW APPROACHES, AND CHANGE ONCE HELD IDEAS. PERSONS WITH BRAIN DISORDERS HAVE A GREATER CAPACITY 2 IMAGINE, CREATE, AND LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. THEY ARE THE INVENTORS, THE VISIONARIES, THE ARTISTS, THE EXPLORERS, THE COMPOSERS, THE WRITERS, THE ARTISITS, THE MAKERS.
