I’m too busy focusing on holding my tics back that learning is basically a second priority for me. The doctor currently has me on medication and I do behavior therapy to try and ease my tourettes disease. I feel like I am complaining so much, but I really shouldn’t be because tourettes does not even affect my life expectancy.

Everything he ever wanted or desired could have ended if one small thing in his operation to triple his IQ went wrong and that’s why I am against Charlie getting the operation. There are many reasons why he shouldn’t have gotten it, but there are three that stand out the most to me. One is that his life was put in great danger since it’s a brain surgery. Second was that there wasn’t enough research in the particular area, and third was that he will always remember being smart but never get the chance of being smart again.
Brandt Monette English 102- Section 1016 Ana Douglass September 27, 2011 Values: Disconnecting from the server Beep, beep, beep, beep… sounded the alarm as I rolled over somewhat routinely with a heavy tiredness still think in my blood.
