Year end reflection


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.

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.
