Reading

I started reading Magic Tree House series in March. It is the first time that I am reading books that are appropriate. It makes me feel both sad and wonderful. Jack is at my age. I can see myself in him. I am very proud of myself for being courageous. I am confident that I will achieve something great!

I am confident you will achieve great things too! In fact, I’m gonna go ahead and say you already are! When you share your thoughts here, it shows everyone that you are brave and it also shows how intelligent you are. Your thoughts here, they make the people who read them think about things. And that is amazing! You are amazing!

Thinking about you today Yi! Making genuine friend is difficult at 5 as it is as an adult. Keep being your true self and let others see your light shine. All the best, mom to Jacob (age 8) who is non verbal but is such a sweet boy.

I love your blog! It is very brave to write out your thoughts and feelings. My son had loved Magic Tree House too when he was your age. What other books do you enjoy?

What a cool idea to write a blog about your experiences. I wish I had thought of that when I was younger. I have a little girl who is similar to you. I can’t wait for her to be able to read books and go on adventures. Interesting fact about the author: Mary went to a great public university called UNC. It’s the oldest public university in the United States. I grew up in Chapel Hill North Carolina where UNC is located. My wife went to school there as well. I did not realize that a famous successful writer like Mary was an alumni at UNC. Which book are you reading in the series?

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.
