I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.
I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.
Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
I received thousands of letters of support from all around the world, all because I wanted to go to school.
Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
Eventually, I won the right to attend school, but the prejudice was still there.
