Hi, my name is Jessi. I'm here because I am in college for my junior year. I have lived and grown up with special needs including Bipolar Disorder and Aspergers and ADHD (Audhd). I have been stable on medication for over 12 years and am wanting to finally go back to college. I suffer every day with Anxiety as well as a lot of struggles with trying to function as a disabled student. My goal is to become a mental health counselor for children with special needs and learning disabilities. I want to become a help to kids like my counselors were for me. I want to save a child's life and end up doing foster care and have kids with autism and down syndrome, and other kids that "nobody wants". I want to save kids and become a support system for them.
