“I found out in my junior year that I had a learning disability. That was the best experience I could have. I went through elementary school, went through middle school, went through most of my high school, you know, struggling, opening my mouth and saying, ‘Hey, there’s something wrong here.’ And I had no help. We found out that I had a learning disability, that I comprehended everything but it just took me a longer time to comprehend.”
