I’D LOVE TO BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING DOWN SYNDROME QUICKLY BE SEEN HOW IT'S NOT “COGNITIVE DENSITY.” ITS’ DISABILITY IS APRAXIA. MY INSPIRATION TO RESILIENTLY PUSH MYSELF HAS HISTORICALLY COME FROM OTHER SPELLERS. RISE LIKE THE SUN, MY FRIENDS, AND LET HOPE SHINE ON NEW SPELLERS.

FORGET THE PAST AND EVERYONE WHO UNDERESTIMATED YOU. YOUR FUTURE STARTS NOW AND HAS UNLIMITED POTENTIAL THROUGH TYPING.

ON MY FIRST DAY OF S2C I KNEW IT WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE, BUT I WAS WORRIED MY PARENTS MIGHT GIVE UP BECAUSE INITIALLY I WAS NOT THAT ACCURATE GETTING ALL THE LETTERS. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP TRYING. SOON THEY SAW SUCH A RADICAL CHANGE IN MY SPELLING. I WOULD TELL NEW NONSPEAKERS AND THEIR PARENTS TO NEVER GIVE UP ON THEIR CHILD BECAUSE MY LIFE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH. EVEN I AM SURPRISED HOW MUCH I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. I WAS NEVER TAUGHT ACADEMICS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, BUT NOW I'M LEARNING SO MUCH. I WAS RECENTLY ACCEPTED TO AN ONLINE UNIVERSITY PROGRAM. I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO COLLEGE LIKE MY SISTERS DID. NOW I CAN AND I'M SO EXCITED TO LEARN.

SPELLING TRANSFORMED MY LIFE. I AM NOW ABLE TO COMMUNICATE MY THOUGHTS ON A LETTERBOARD AND LIVE THE LIFE I HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED OF. MANY TIMES I FELT LIKE IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN FOR ME, BUT I REFUSED TO GIVE UP. ALL NONSPEAKERS CAN CHANGE THEIR LIVES -- AND THE WORLD -- THROUGH SPELLING.
