Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
essGrowing up with my older autistic brother Jourdain has opened my eyes in many different ways. Our mother said that when Jourdain was diagnosed at the age of 3 years old she was told to institutionalize him because he was would not ever be able to function normally.

Because I always tried impressing people, I never felt as if I fit in anywhere.

Once I began attending the new school things were difficult because my new teacher was completely different from my previous teacher.
