Learning disabilities have plagued my immediate family for years starting with yours-truly. For years I struggled with school. Early-on, the educators assumed I was slow-witted based on my academic performance, or lack there-of. Being from a very small town where gossip travels at the speed of thought, I was stigmatized by many parents who wouldn't let their superior children play with me.
Later, and subsequently through my school years, I was periodically given I.Q. tests where it was discovered that it was in fact I, who was superior. When my parents discovered that I was actually very bright, they still couldn't understand why my grades were so poor and began to punish me for being "lazy"! Finally after years of frustration and eventually depression, I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and began treatment which changed my life in a completely positive way. My eldest son was diagnosed at an early age with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, but is still struggling. The good news it that he and I spend quite a bit of time together and I think/hope I am inspiring him to keep working at it. My eldest child, also went through her own challenges with ADHD.
Anyway, my heart goes out to all those kids who are sent-off or worse yet, written-off because many schools still can't provide an appropriate, educational delivery system that works for those kids. It's enough of a challenge for a child just to find his or her own-self without parents and/or teachers adding anxiety to it. " Joe Francis
"Waiting On The World to Change" was selected with Special Olympics in mind with all net sales proceeds* going to Special Olympics organisation.
