Marguerite's Diary

Texte du rabat

If you don't read anything else, please read this. It is OK to be different. Went I went to school there wasn't anything as a LD student. If there were I would have been classified as LD. If your speech was slow and you were tongue tied or couldn't hear to good or if you had dyslexia or couldn't see too well you would end up in the back of the room. Kids would beat up on me because they though I was different. I was chased home by some of the schoolboys until I found it was a game for them. Since I was in the back of the room I couldn't hear the teacher too well. When the teacher discovered that I hadn't done what she said, she came back and hit me with her first in the middle of my back. That was sixty-three years ago and I still have pain in my back. Sometimes I have not been able to walk from this. You should not laugh or make fun of others or old people. After they get up around seventy they mostly talk about sickness and doctors. Some people are Paralyze from the neck down. Some people have dysconia which can give you pain and cripple you. Some people have Parkinson decease or even hiccups or stutter for years. Some people are Mongoloid or have Down syndrome and some have tourette. Or other decease. Some have Lupus.
