I received thousands of letters of support from all around the world, all because I wanted to go to school.
I'm just one of the kids, and all because the students at Hamilton Heights High School listened to the facts, educated their parents and themselves, and believed in me.
A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.
I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.
People would get up and leave so they would not have to sit anywhere near me.
Financial hardships were rough on us, even though Mom had a good job at G.M.
