editor's note //
I was born with severe hearing problems and at-
was doomed from day one; I might as well have been the kid who ate paste.
I remember being really excited to start "real" school.
tended a pre-school for hearing-impaired kids from about age 3. But when I got to be "mainstreamed" into a public kindergarten class, I was ecstatic to get to be with the "normal" kids.
Feeling good in my favorite denim dress. I jumped off the normal bus to go into the normal school to be exuberantly accepted by all the normal kids — or so I expected.
Like writer Hannah DeClerk, I went through school assuming something was "different" and therefore, by middle school social standards, "wrong" — about me as I continued to self-consciously hide my real personality behind painfully awkward shyness.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite pan out this way. What I didn't know till years of social ostracization later was that I entered school cursed with a triple threat to any and all possible popularity.
First off, I had to wear hearing aids, which, in the 1990s, were dinosaurs compared to the sleek, feedback-free models of today. On top of that, I was already able to read and so became the geeky teacher's pet — a role I played very well with my super-thick glasses and chubby frame. And did I mention I was the shortest kid in the class? I
Perhaps we all could use a dose of self-acceptance to help us with our self-consciousness.
But like many fellow socially anxious nerds before me, I eventually survived high school. And I even made it to college, where, gradually at first, something amazing happened — I started to relax.
// ALEX GARRISON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Today, I'm 21 years old and still awkward as hell. But I've finally begun to accept that, even if I am "different" in some way, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm always going to be awkward and shy and even a little bit weird but that's OK; that's just who I am.
Check out Hannah's essay on page 15 about how she came to accept herself as she grew up as the tallest girl in her class.
