Dear 10 year old self,
Its not the end of the world being told you will be held back! Yes i know that you will get teased and feel like a total loser but think about this, if you weren't going to get held back, you would not meet your true friend in the 7th grade and finally make friends that will last for a lifetime. Yes your special ed teacher is a total bitch towards you and the other class, but look at the bright side of this, you will someday overcome this learning disability and you will be going to college to learn how to help others with your problem. Don't give up after its decided you will be held back just keep on going and reaching your goal!
My 28 year old self
