"I struggled throughout school to keep my grades up. People would call me lazy, or tell me to apply myself. It frustrated me to the bone, because I was trying SO hard. Then when I got to college, one of my professors noticed and cared—he pointed me in the right direction and I finally have a diagnosis and can get treatment and accommodations."
