Early in life, I was diagnosed with a non-verbal learning disability and dysgraphia. The biggest difficulty I faced was writing—holding a pencil hurt. A short essay test was a frustrating experience for both my teachers and me due to my inability to write legibly. My diagnosis changed that. I began receiving support from the school customized to meet my needs.
Eventually, I was permitted to type my exams, something most of my peers envied. My biggest fear was no longer inability to write a legible sentence. After high school, I attended George Washington University, and eventually attended George Washington University Law School. While in law school, I received support from Disability Support Services, a university department that provided services to students with disabilities. These types of services are not typically provided in the real world.
