as small as a world and as large as alone

Another thing…

I am not very good with words.  And right now that is making getting through college difficult, so it is on my mind a lot.  College is not always friendly or accomodating to disabled people.  And even if it were, I’m not sure I would belong here.

And yet I’ve been doing really well on a lot of non-academic things, like helping a friend set up a new garden and chose plants for their exact position, sun exposure, and soil type.  And some of those things are another facet of the not-words.  And I’ve been helping teach a class and the students seem to like me.

Wish for more respect for all who are not strong with words, whose gifts may lie elsewhere.
