face every day of your life. As a teen I suppose I struggled
the most. Then it hit me—My disability isn’t
in charge of my life, I am. It was up to me to make
my life worthwhile despite all my problems. Here is
my story.” Terry speaks frankly and in a language
that children and young adults can easily understand.
