Conference

Yesterday I went to a conference at OMS. It was organized by my mom and Tina and Sarika. I went to a session called student panel. I was amazed by the students on the stage. They were able to stay calm in front of so many people. It was very inspiring. I want to be like them one day. I want to be on the stage one day. I want my voice to be heard. I want to publish my book.

Hello Yi! I have been following your story after I met your mom through my sister in law. Her name was Adream and she was a very special friend of your moms. I have been so inspired by your story and every time I hear about you, I always think about how proud Adream would be. I believe one day you will publish your book, and will be on stage telling everyone about it. You have a special gift and I believe you will help so many people. I just wanted to say even though we have not met, I am very proud of you!

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!

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.

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.
