School
Being a student can be fun and exciting—you are learning new things, meeting new people, and growing into a young adult. School can also be hard because of the amount of work and the many changes taking place as you get older. And when you have an illness or disability, it can be even harder sometimes. Just remember to have patience with yourself. You are smart and strong, and you can do a great job!
