I was born in
Mississippi in the 1960s. My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my
brain when I was a five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The
first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and
fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade
gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade
P.E.class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the
second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded(训斥)me for
complaining too much.
