There are a few things that I will mention time and time again in stories, but can't fit in the explanations in the stories without going on forever.
The first is that my "first" freshman year, I hardly could go to school. The only class I took was drama, because it was the only one I could take. I also volunteered in a kindergarten class, which was great therapy. At that point, I couldn't read, even the children books.. I would find myself making up the story if I didn't know the book.
Just before my my "second" freshman year a lot happened. I was rapped, my family went bankrupt, and we had to move. So I switched schools, to a school that my class was the size of the entire school before. I also, at that point, had to realize I really did have a disability, and enrolled into Special Ed. So demeaning to the old "genius". -- I still couldn't read consistently.
During my junior year I was re-injured. I went to a specialist that was suppose to be amazing and that fixed necks..... WRONG. Instead of pushing my top most vertebrae into the right spot, she pushed it all the way to the other side. My poor brain stem. For months after I was constantly having such bad stomach pains that they sent me to the hospital thinking it was the appendix, and could not control my thoughts. I at that point, had to drop all my classes. So, in my head, I was a failure because I had dropped out of high school. Something I never thought in a million years would happen to me.
I of course, went back to school, but I had to switch schools to be able to have the chance (online classes) to graduate on time. And, I DID! -- Most difficult thing I have ever had to go through.
That's about the gist of all the main things I will mention. I'll go in more detail of the side effects I had in my re-injury. I'll explain my high school hell many times.
