How could these people in the public eye not be afraid of me, but my whole town was?
Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.
I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.
Entertainers, athletes, and stars started giving me support.
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.
