MAKING EDUCATION CHANGE
I still catch myself saying Rachel you are not good enough. I still need to work on getting that out of my head because it is not the case. I think a lot of times, people keep it inside that they have a learning disability. They won’t talk to their friends or their teachers. I am talking to people now and educating them about it. I could be a teacher, but just being a teacher doesn’t seem like enough for significant change. I have been thinking of creating my own school!
