I was dignosed with a "learning disability" as a young child however before that my parents were told I was mentally handicapp and that I would never make it pass the 8th grade.I did make it pass the 8th grade. In fact, I graduated high school at the age of 20 and went on to graduate from College with a degree in Special Education. As adult, I view this as the greatest gift god has ever given because it has lead to greater tolerance and understanding of the world around, it has given me patience and a lead me to a career as a Special Education Teacher. Many people get learning disabilities and mental handicaps confused because of political correctness and inconsistent practices in the understanding and dealings of these lifetime difficulties.
