Mom

Mom is my friend. She is very amazing. I love her. 

She is my star. In the darkest hours, she kept me sane. I don’t know if I can keep going without her. In the most vulnerable time, she gave me strength. 

Mom, I love you. 

Together we can cross the ocean. 

Together we can reach the moon. 

Together we can change the world.

Hi YiYi:

It is very difficult to understand all the challenges you have experienced in your life, without experiencing oneself!
You have an amazing family to support you and to discovering the world step by step! I am so grateful to have this opportunity to learn from you and your family, particularly your mom! She has demonstrated “ Believe, never give up”! She is an awesome mom!

Oh Yes, with the efforts, you and your mom (and family) will make a difference in this world! You will change many people’ life! Yes, you can and you will!

You are a rock star!

Prison of Silence

I used to have lots of tantrums.  It is because I couldn’t communicate. It was very frustrating.  I couldn’t talk,  I couldn’t use sign language, I couldn’t use AAC.  I felt trapped, I felt pain, I felt frustrated. I hit myself, I hit my family, I hit my friends. After I use RPM, I am able to communicate. I am able to talk using the letterboard.  I am free from the prison of silence.  I am free to express myself. Few people in the world understand what it is like to not have a voice.  It is the most painful experience I have ever had. I am happy that I can talk now.  I want to help others. Everyone deserves to communicate!

My Brother

Lang is my older brother. He is eleven years old. I really like him. He is the best brother ever! He really loves me. He never complains no matter how my behaviors are. I am very fortunate to be his little brother.  I wish I can play with him.  I wish I can talk to him.  I know I can!  One day I will make him proud!  One day I will be an inspiration.  One day I will change the world.

Year end reflection

Image
I was in a public school in the special needs room where they taught me baby stuff. I am now at OMS, a private inclusion school where I learn grade level curriculum.  It has been a transitional year for me.  I am reborn. I am so proud of myself. I am here with a voice. I am smart. I am teachable. I am a genius. It is the public schools that failed me. I especially want to say to the people  who didn’t believe in me:  You are wrong. You destroyed me. You made me feel like killing myself. But I am strong. I am going to live a meaningful life. I am going to help others who cannot talk. It is important to me that I want to tell my stories  so that more people understand people like me. I want to be heard. I have a voice.
