Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
I received thousands of letters of support from all around the world, all because I wanted to go to school.
This brought on the news media, TV crews, interviews, and numerous public appearances.
I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.
Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.
Listening to medical facts was not enough. People wanted one hundred percent guarantees.
