When I was in my younger grades like first grade to fourth I was ADHD undiagnosed and a lot of people in my family (not my parents) didn’t see mental health as a big deal.

When I got into second grade there was a reading theacher let’s call him Msr.C him and my teacher let us call her Mrs.G had to focus on me the most out of everyone.

Every night as a second grader stressed out about my homework and how much I tried to do it but couldn’t.

Finally my mom got me on ADHD pills and they helped but I wasn’t my sweet out going self anymore.

The next appointment they started me on axiaty medication and my teacher noticed the difference in confidence I had within the first week.

The rest was up to me. I am proud of myself to say I tried and I made it. I got second highest reading points (My bestie Aubrey got the highest she intered in the contest a great story vote for her.) and got a academic excellence award.
