"Reflecting on my school years in a small island classroom, I'm flooded with mixed emotions, but nostalgia isn't one of them. For me, school is far from a safe haven of learning and growth. It feels more like a battlefield, navigating a world where being different isn't just challenging; it's isolating. Coming from a less affluent background paints a target on my back, subjecting me to unwarranted judgment and exclusion. But what's even more challenging is dealing with my learning disability in an environment that's less than accommodating. It's hard to put into words the feeling of being seen as 'less than' by my peers and, sadly, sometimes even by those who are supposed to educate and uplift us. My learning disability isn't a choice, nor does it reflect my intelligence or my worth as a person. Yet, it often feels like a curse, overshadowing my abilities and ambitions.
