Personal Narrative: My School Experience With ADHD And Aspergers Autism

At the age of 5, I was medically diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers Autism. I never knew how hard it would be to overcome this adversity. My education was very important to me and I knew that I wanted to go to college to become a teacher, but didn't think I could because of my disability. All throughout my school experience I have had difficulties with teachers not understanding how I comprehend things. My life took a positive turn when I was in seventh grade.

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience In Elementary School

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…

    Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned From An Exceptional Student

    I went from an exceptional student to one who talks back. Since freshman year Mrs. R had been my favorite teacher, even though I did not have her until I was a junior. She was kind and always there if you needed to take a breather in her class, or simply do whatever you needed to on the computer, if it was your lunch. I've heard students complain about how they did not like her and how annoying she was. However, I couldn't understand why they felt that way about Mrs. R. I never saw her the way they did.…

During my sophomore year of high school, I was a three-sport athlete. Despite my disability I made it on to the Varsity Tennis, JV Basketball, and JV Softball teams.…

    Personal Narrative: A Normal School Day

    Being a high school student is composed of restless nights, and eight exhausting hours of classes in which you are obligated to stay awake in. A normal school day begins with me snoozing my alarm about ten times before my dad walks into my room telling me the dreaded “time to get up for school” reminder which I just take as a suggestion. Normally I will drag myself into the bathroom about ten minutes later to begin my routine. I spend about 40 minutes in the bathroom preparing myself for school and by the time I am done it is usually time to grab all of my things and barely catch the bus. Now this has to be my least favorite part of the day.…

    People will always ask me what it is like to grow up with a brother with Autism, if it’s frustrating, difficult, or if it’s different. I always kind of laugh at the question because I don’t view John as a boy with Autism, I view him as my older brother. John is a very special person, and not just because he is Autistic. Something that John does is that he will always try and help others. I think he likes the feeling when he helps people because it makes him feel important.…
