I am many things on the surface: short, athletic, white, smart, and friendly (if sometimes quiet). However, beneath that I am highly motivated, organized, independent, anxious, happy, ALWAYS thinking. There are many things about me that others can't see--many of which I'm not quite sure of myself. But I'm on my way to figuring them out.
Growing up around two disabled (extended) family members (one with Asperger's and one with severe epilepsy and mental retardation), I've learned that what is visible does not always match what is on the inside of a person. I'd be lying if I said that what we're going to do won't put me out of my comfort zone. It will. But I am 100% certain that it will be worth it.
