Editor's Notes
Share about me too.
How I get started down this road District literacy initiative. . .
“ Chill has always been different, but the way he deals with his disability and his art have given him the power to survive the horrors of high school. When a new teacher arrives, determined to crush his students' spirit, Chill decides to fight back and risk everything. A story of doing the right thing and standing up for yourself—and your friends.”
Negative Perception: “ How do I preserve my self-esteen when I struggle with reading? Well, I stop trying so I don’t look incompentent. Instead, I just chose to not do the work.” At this point I have decided that I don’t want to or I won’t catch up to my peers. Instead I will focus on what I am good at and pour all my energy in that. Human nature—we all drawn to activities we naturally excel at and resist those we struggle with. Takes work and stategy to engage.
