Thank you for the kind words. She is has been learning American Sign Language for about two years now and has worked with the special needs students throughout all of her time in school, so she wants to be a special needs teacher when she gets older. Every day when she gets home she tells us about how much fun she has in her peer tutor class with those children.
A few weeks ago when all of this started with her friends leaving her, she got a note in her backpack telling her that she should kill herself. She had a hard night because of that, but after talking with us about it, she decided she was going to start a livestream series on Facebook every week where she would speak to people about confidence and motivation. During her first livestream she spoke about the note and how it made her feel, but that it didn't matter to her, because all that mattered was how she felt about herself and that you can't let others bring you down. She had a ton of shares and about 1000 views on it and so many people told her, adults even, that her livestream helped them and they were looking forward to the next one. She really is a special person.
"She really is a special person."
Indeed!
