Introduction

This book is entitled I Learned because as a child, I struggled with English and school in general. From the time that first pencil was placed in my hand, I’d draw or I’d tap out a rhythm on my desk.

My Passions

My love of art and music were immediate; words came later. As an adult, I found I could put an abstract spin on life, finding a story in a drop of water or joy in a tear.

My Perspective

Using words, I could make the complicated simple or the simple complicated, eventually having fun with the same language that had almost defined me as mentally challenged.

My Hope

Perhaps my words can help you with your special child or inspire someone you know.
