I can direct relate to Dan’s story, as I too experienced a physical challenge with Tourettes through my elementary and middle school years; these times were extremely difficult for both of us and clearly have had great impacts on the lives we currently lead.

Very touching story on how nothing can truly stop someone as long as they work for it. If there’s a will, there’s a way.

the way you talked about going through surgery and how you gained a cognitive disability but then overcoming it was inspiring since you didn’t let it get the best of you.
