Meeting with Ms. Sharon M. Draper

It's incredible to be in a Zoom meeting with the author of the book, Out of My Mind, Ms. Sharon M. Draper. I was able to ask her a few questions and she was giving me really great advice. I didn't think it would be possible if I stayed in school. I am finally seeing the benefits of homeschooling. I hated homeschooling for a very long time.

Today I went to see Lenae. I was very excited. I was nervous. I worried that she might be disappointed. I didn’t know if I had made enough progress. I was really worried that she could be disappointed about my progress. I was so relieved at the end that I was able to show her what I could do. I am so happy. I was able to spell on the iPad. I was able to type and speak. I was able to write and speak. I was able to hold the letterboard and spell. I am so proud of myself.  I love you mom. I am grateful for having you there to always push me and believe in me. I really appreciate it. I am so ecstatic.

Make a difference

I was really really upset when grandma said that I could talk, I just didn’t want to. I was so mad. I want to scream!  I would trade anything to be able to talk. It is my biggest desire. I really want to talk. I want to cry. I want to play a visit to grandma. I want to show her that I have made so much progress.  I want the whole world to know that I am smart. I want to show them what I am capable of. I especially what to show people in public school that I am smart.  I am so mad that people still don’t believe in me. They are either stupid or very evil. I really want to scream at them. I am so mad. I want to change the world. I want a world where everyone is treated with respect, including people with autism.  I really want to make a difference. I know I can.  I know I will.  I know I am capable. I know I am strong. I want to go to college and get a degree. I want to make a difference in the world. I will!!
