My Disability

I have a Intellectual Disability and it

didn’t effect it me because I knew I

had it every since I was in 5th grade.

I been told that I am high

functioning

My High School Year

I play football all 4 years of high school and I became the

starter at wide receiver and also became the leader of the

team and our record was 6-4

I was in Project Unify and this is also about kids who have

intellectual disability and I’m also part of the spread the word

to end the word and we pledge not to use the R-word.

I was in the Beta Club for the first time my senior year.

College Life
