I never thought about quitting or anything like that -- it's not who I am, and it's not in my nature, if something stands in my way, I'll find a way around it or find a way to deal with it head on. That's not denying that things were tough in the very beginning. I did fall down a lot and it did hurt.

Yes, I had accommodations in school, yes, I had to go to therapy and doctor's appointments and meetings in school to address my disability. But at home, my parents treated me like I was a normal kid. The mentality in my home, it was never,' Oh, my kid has a disability. We need to look for handouts, or whatever should we do ?' I think the reason I am where I am today is because of my parents. They don't look for excuses, and they treated me like my disability wasn't there.
