And I remember there was constantly like behavioral charts where
If you did these worksheets or did this quietly, you would get stickers.
And if you got stickers, you would get glittery nail polish.
And the glittery nail polish was exciting, but it was kind of just more just boring work.
And I was very, very, very ashamed to go to research room.
And I remember in my elementary school on the loudspeaker.
There were just a couple of kids that had to go to the research room and it would say, Ellie Sheva and like two or three other kids, please go to the research room.
And I just wanted to die because it was clearly that was like where, you know, the dumb kids went.
And then there was a lot of rowdy boys that were throwing papers around the room.
And it just didn't it didn't it didn't seem like an aspect of my experience that I wanted to integrate into my identity or who I was.
It was like it to me, it felt like.
I'm not doing well in school.
So they're kind of putting me in this room.
And this is kind of a shadowy, embarrassing aspect of who I am that, you know, they see me as somebody that has like some learning disability.
And ultimately that perspective led my parents to, um,
my school knew about my background with learning disabilities, but when my parents were trying to get me into these private schools to go to high schools, they decided not to bring up my background, my paper trail with learning disabilities because I already had three rejections and they did it.
They were trying to get me into a Jewish high school and they felt, and I think it's all about how you frame it and it's the parent's job to
to educate school personnel that are not properly educated and put the framing, but they felt like the school wouldn't want to take me if they knew I was a complicated, quote unquote, special needs learning disability student.
So it was kind of my parents'
shame around it or discomfort around it that I picked up.
