So today I left my History of Western Civ class as we were taking role. I was not feeling like I should stay in college. I mean if I can not order a cheeseburger how I am I going to get a job teaching . I went to visit some of my professors that I have had over the years . ( Math BIo and tried to talk to my American Lit teacher from last semester but she was not there . I also went to DSPS and talked to them, I talked to Ms, Super, not real name, who has helped me for the past three years , and Consular J who has also helped me all three year I toldl them I wanted to drop out of school because of the incident.
My thinking was if I can not get a good job because of my disabilities. Why stay in college and try to be intellecual when everyone thinks i am dumb , or worse , but that is later I should be trying to find a job now that will last me the rest of my life like bagging or something else.
Well they said I had to promise them to wait til monday before dropping classes.
Well I went to my bio teacher and he found this video on youtube so that was making me feel better
i resolved to confront A about the incident.
So A says ," I am sorry if you felt that way I thought it was cute that you wanted to make sure you had your cheese."
AZ:Cute I am 21 years old I am not cute.
AZ thinking back on it : I am not cute because I was trying to communicate . I looked to make sure because I have a speech problem and wanted to make sure it was done right oh but it gets worse
A : Well we don't see you like that we see you as a little princess a little girl.
So I went to talk to the president and instead found an assistant who gave me the contact information for the head of the food court and we are having a meeting tomorrow in DSPS with Ms, Super I hope all goes well.

I'm just getting caught up on my blog reading after vacation, and read your last post and this one. Good for you for finding your strength and confronting this person.
Please don't give up on your education because your speech is hard to understand. You are smart, funny, and have so much to offer the world. I know you will get through this.
You are awesome! I love that you have the courage to stand up for yourself. Keep at it; I have faith in you, and by speaking up, you are advocating not only for yourself but also for others with disabilities.
For what it's worth, to me, you are not a little princess or a little girl; you are an amazing individual with your whole life in front of you, and the name of your blog is perfect because you ARE amazing. Never forget that. :)
