At a very young age I was diagnosed with ADHD which nobody picked up on until 3 rd grade because I didn’t have the hyper active part of it. It was that I just couldn’t focus. I’m also communication impaired.  It takes longer for my brain to comprehend what I’m reading than other people can. I struggled in first and second grade with reading and comprehension.

I have been receiving special education services since third grade.  My years in elementary school were a bit of a struggle because I couldn’t comprehend what I was reading. My special education teacher Mrs. Bartletta...
