My GCSE and A Level Geography teacher is unforgettable for how she tried to exclude me ignoring my GP's, parents' and Consultant Neurologist's letters saying that my epilepsy wasn't a barrier to me attending the field trip week which constituted a huge percentage of my A Level result. How two of my friends stood up for me to her and changed her mind to include me is memorable too. I didn't realise that Parry-Romberg’s Syndrome was affecting my whole side of my body then but it made the field trip harder. I had a seizure there but had my birthday there with friends and showed I could be included.
I did one of those Facebook name test things this morning and it told me that I'm too Independent person and that my quote is "If I was meant to be controlled, I would have come with a remote" which reflects my independent mindset and feminist streak.

It's proving the ableists wrong with a #ThisGirlCan attitude and my disabilities aren't going to hold me back!
