Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
A long time ago, I used to hang out with my cousin and he would always find a way to get me in trouble. We used to start fires, steal mail, and start more fires. Once, we started a tree on fire but fortunately we had a vacuum hose to put it out. He kept hitting the fire with the vacuum hose until it eventually, was put out.
Well, back then I was a follower. Until the night I got shot in the head that woke me up and since then, I have become a leader, I no longer let people lead me into trouble.
Plus I am disabled which helps because if I walk around and do not say anything. People assume I am developmentally delayed, and leave me alone. Even though, my left arm doesn’t work and I walk with a limp. I still can talk and hold a conversation which is important. I don’t consider myself developmentally delayed.
I used to not be able to lead because of my cousin and my father being so overbearing and it was there way or the highway. Now both of them are out of my life and now I can breathe that they are gone. Leading has become easier now that they are gone.
Shot in the head 
It’s true, holding a conversation is what’s important. That’s really good that you can still communicate well.

Yes thank God I can communicate. I would be very frustrated if I could not communicate.
