“Some people think that kids with disabilities are strange but when they see a person helping them they think of them as less cool.  However, people don’t realize what other people are going through everyday including myself as I’m not a typical person and I can relate to those people with disabilities. My Tourettes syndrome has affected me every day with my life, but I still stand for kids with disabilities and get made fun of for it.  Even though sometimes others think its cool to make fun of people, they don’t realize how another person’s life can be affected by it, not just people with disabilities but people in general. And because of this, I want to change the way people see others from the inside and out.”
