MY LIGHT SHINES

By Zack Demetrius
I am sometimes Zack, the disabled brother. In school I am Zack, the cognitively impaired autistic kid. Here at M2H, I am Zack, the super terrific writer, who is intelligent and totally cool. Not one of my teachers thought I could do anything, except Judy. Whenever I step through the doors of this place, I become the real Zack. My light shines here.

Hope

The thing I hope for most is that people see the real me. I cannot express how tired I am of not being seen or understood. Totally tired of it. I hate Septembers:  going back to school is the worst. My teachers don’t have a clue who I am. They treat me like I am stupid. We students suffer:  we suffer not only the trauma of bodies that don’t listen to our brains, but also the trauma of the world not understanding the nature of our real disability.

I believe one day this will change. I will live in hope that it will.

Zach! Today I heard your story at The Chapel in Lincoln Park. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I want you to know how inspiring you are to me! Thank you for being anxious to matter and for your courage. You are an incredibly impressive young man. Please let me know if there is ever any way I can help you and your family!
