When I was two my mother noticed that I was unable to follow two direction instructions and had me tested. The diagnosis was that I had problems processing/understanding what was asked of me. Upon entering kindergarten I was screened further to determine if I qualified for an Individual Educational Plan (IEP). My mom worked diligently with school administration, staff, and faculty to ensure that I received the learning tools and support to be a successful student. My mom made sure she advocated for me when I wasn’t able to do so myself. Along the way she has had made sure that as I’ve gotten older that I learned to advocate for myself and understand that just because I have a learning disability doesn’t mean I can’t further my education after high school. my teachers, administrators, coaches, case managers, and the Special Education Department. Without their commitment and dedication to prepare me for the opportunity to go to college I can honestly say I would be lost.
I really enjoyed the public school environment. The diversity in my high school Hickman was great for me to grow as an individual first, student second. On the other side of the coin, I did notice racial injustice and sexual harassment unaccounted for by CPS authority figures. Thankfully one racial case was brought to light and the man who faced this racial unjustice was given a settlement over $100,000 agreed upon by himself and CPS. Two sides to a coin.
My experience with the Columbia school district was nice for the most part, they did a good job at having the students best interests in mind when it came to making certain decisions regarding safety. The safety of the students was also a huge deal from snow to security on the campuses the schools had it planned out and wanted to make sure the students we safe all the time.
