being in Special Ed...


i recently just heard of this movie and i finally watched it & wow it just brought back a lot of emotions from my past, because I've been in special ed since the 2nd grade & now i'm almost 21 & just the pain & frustration that some of the kids had (in the movie), and the way they were disrespected by the other students at school...that was literally my whole school life! I remember not being able to control certain things i was born with & people would make fun of me for it & i was and still am an awkward person, but i'I've grown more from the experience--i just always feel like i'm 10 steps behind everyone in life--which i kind of am...it's sometimes hard for me to accept the way that i am but i'm getting better at it. But school was never a good environment for me though. I really did like my special ed period classes i had--everyone was like a family...but everywhere else i never felt accepted or i felt insecure about who i was--this movie really inspired me & showed me that us Special needs kids can do anything we put our mind to & that we don't always have to think about being in Special Ed as a negative thing...i really appreciated this movie. I'm glad it exists <3 (i'll have to now read the book since it exists also haha!)

Ah that's all i had to say lol good day! :)
