Safe as a dumb

My Story

So this a story about me. My disability doesn't allow me to tell you this story verbally. Im Megan Alicia George. I hope u will get inspired by this story.

My childhood was not that great. When i was 6 years old,i joined a normal school. Not many knew that i was dumb. The teacher asked me a question one day and ofcourse i wasn't able to answer it. From that day everyone got to know about me. Some  people said that i should join a special school and some even made fun of me. Some were so sweet that they made me feel very weird.

When i got into middle,things got worse. People knew that i could not speak, so they bullied me. They kind of used to take out all their anger on me. I used to see their faces and sob. I could not even tell my teachers becaise when i did they din't understand. Sometimes i felt like someone was killing me inside. I used to be sad all the time. But i din't let all this stuff spoil my academics. I topped everytime. Some people are so very sweet that they make me realise that im extraordinary. This feeling makes me feel like my thoughts will always be stuvk in my mind.

Then i learnt how to express my emotions. When I'm sad i cry. When I'm happy I smile a lot and when Im angry i just scribble on a paper orcry out of pain.

In high school, I was seen as a geek. I had two friends who left me after sometime. I was lonely but i had the habit of it. No one bullied me. I was a bit happy now. My parents were happy as i was doing good. But there was one person who din't like me. That was my elder sister. She got impatient by my means of communications. She used to scolded me. She even used to hit me. But I never told my mother as i never wanted her to get into trouble.

I'm thankful to god that he gave me lovely parents who treat me as no special child. Now that i have grown up, I achieved what i wanted to. I am the CEO of a very well known NGO which helps poor people. My NGO is running very well. I did a lot of hard work to achieve it. I did not make any connections between me being dumb and academics. It did not affect my career. I have a beautiful family now. I have a daighter and a son. Both of them are normal and are very co-operative. My husband is also a very lovely person. And the main part is tjat he loves me. Thats the most important. I'm very happy of my life now. Being dumb is not a bad thing afterall as not speaking to anyone made me concentrate on things that were more important. Im very satisfied.

I STILL WONDER WHAT MY VOICE WOULD BE LIKE.
