The first five to six years of my life were spent in and out of the hospital.
I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.
Financial hardships were rough on us, even though Mom had a good job at G.M.
The desire to move into a bigger house, to avoid living AIDS daily, and a dream to be accepted by a community and school, became possible and a reality with a movie about my life, The Ryan White Story.
A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.
Eventually, I won the right to attend school, but the prejudice was still there.
