[QUOTE="Star*, post: 516038, member: 4964"] amelia, and daughter, I don't know what it's like to be blind, or albino. I DO have every idea what it's like to be persecuted your entire life, not have friends, keep to yourself and suffer from major depression because you are different. I also know that in those differences lays a gift inside us that is so special it was only given to us - because we are that unique and could handle both things - being odd, and being special. Some days I'm sure it doesn't seem like it, and we spend more time being angry about our condition than we do appreciating the fact that we are so unique no one could ever handle being us. Maybe it sounds a little narcissistic ......but the people you could relate to? Aren't that far from you, and what I DO know about albinism is that a great many people are born with sight problems, and ARE persecuted. I wonder then - if you were around many people - kids your own age, adults - teens, even younger children who were persecuted to DEATH for being albino? Would you - could you relate? Because there is a foundation in Virgina that helps many Albinos in Tanzania - escape death. Some of these people are in fear of having their hands and limbs hacked off for money. Many are trying to get here to the US or at least out of Tanzania where people think they are bad luck - which is ridiculous to the rest of the world -and normal thinking people. Peronally? I have no idea what these people must go through on a daily basis. But you do. And I think the fact that you have managed to get through 4 years of college, graduate TOP OF YOUR CLASS, and.....still can function on a daily basis? Is nothing short of phenominal. HOWEVER - it doesn't give you a pass on life - it doesn't give you permission to stay in your room, in the house, and NOT help ANYONE ever for the rest of your life. That's taking the gifts that you were born with? And letting your life go to waste when you (I BELIEVE) could be at this place SHOWING these people WHAT THEY COULD DO - and be a mouthpiece for their entire organization - to the world even. The limits would be up to you..... Regardless of what anyone says - I think you ......are beautiful, and can accomplish things no one in this world could - and maybe that's your purpose? I've pasted the link here - because I really believe that when super intelligent kids are bored it makes their parents NUTS. YOU HAVE IT within you to do GREAT THINGS Amelias daughter......and I only know () much about you..... YOU COULD TRAVEL - YOU COULD BE SPEAKING - YOU COULD maybe save lives. But you aren't going to do it from your bedroom, behind a computer....... Some day I'll tell you about my issues - but for now - lets just get you out and about okay? Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
