You think that life is going to be simple when you first start out.
But in reality, everyday just gets harder and harder.
Elementary school for most people was just a breeze.
But I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was in second grade.
Learning isn’t easy for me…
I remember in fifth grade, my mom would stay up until 12am with me to help me study for Social Studies tests.
I would still get a B- on every test when I’d work my butt off, fry my brain from consumption  of information, and tired from the time I put into studying-
From trying.
My mom is never proud of me because of my learning disability.
My sisters get straight A’s. They’re smart, and amazing at their classes.
Mostly accelerated...
At least I’m in no transitional classes, trying my hardest.
But it is never good enough for my mom.
She expects so much more from me than what I am capable of.
And I don’t know if she ever will be proud of me for just-
Being me.
