''What is it going to take for you to try in school?' was something I heard a lot. What no one knew was that I was trying my hardest to focus and pay attention. I didn’t enjoy any of this, and I wanted to be normal.'
A little girl sits in her third-grade classroom staring at the chalkboard, with butterflies in her stomach. All of sudden she feels a hand grab her arm, hard enough to leave five nail marks on her arm. I didn’t know that this moment would traumatize and, at the same time, drive me to succeed.
When it came time to “plan” for high school and beyond, the comments became even harsher: “You won’t amount to anything.” I heard it again and again so that it was etched in my memory. The medication made a big difference in my life. I was able to sit on the sofa and read through a book in one sitting. I comprehended what I had read. The first time I did that I cried and cried because I thought I had missed out on so much.. I wanted to be their cheerleader, the person who believed in them, like the wonderful woman who believed in me. The power of one!Having ADHD gives me an understanding of my students, especially of students taking medication.
