This is what I would have heard if I had gone to my senior award night: “,,,and the award for most inspiring student goes to Drew!” I learned that I won from a text my mom got from her friend congratulating me.
I couldn't comment right away because I had to examine my feelings about this topic. You are inspiring to me and for some of the reasons you hate....but it goes so much deeper. You're inspiring because in spite of all your boundaries you have developed a wicked sense of humor.....sadly lacking in most people. You found a way for your voice to be heard and in doing so helped others to understand your world. You've shown incredible bravery by opening up old wounds in order to expose society's shortsightedness. This is all inspiring!!!!! Like it or not. You've shown all this not because of your handicap but inspite of it. You're smart, brave, sassy, irreverent and you deal with old people better than most!
