Yi's Voice

ELA homework: Think of someone in your life who believes in you. Write about how their support has helped you. My mom really believes in me and helps me find my voice. It's really hard for me to communicate due to my disabilities. She makes it possible for me to express myself. It makes my education possible. I will be living a beautiful and meaningful life.

[Reflection after watching the Communication as a Human Right panel with 4 non-speaking students and Professor Jaswal at Stanford Neurodiversity Summit ]  I almost cried when they said no one understood who they were. I was the same, trapped inside the stupid body. I am so inspired to be like them. I want to be on stages like that. I want people to see and understand who I am.
