Personal Narrative: My Experience With ADHD

102 Words1 Page

When I first discovered that I had ADHD I absolutely hated it because I realized I was different from everyone else. I saw it as a weakness that was holding me back from achieving my dreams. Since I have come to learn to accept it, I now know how to make use of it and use it to my advantage. As I’ve grown up I know see I have the strength within myself to overcome this. I love how I take interest in things some people generally don’t find interesting. Also I love the wondrous and colorful thoughts that engage my mind.

He is having a hard time in his roll since I have been at the store as the current store manager, and has consistently come up short on completing tasks
