Wisdom from the Whiteboard

9,Wisdom from the Whiteboard is a collection of quotes written over the span of three years by Katelyn Reed, a young woman with Down syndrome. These quotes were a way for her to deal with and process the challenges of public school, the loss of her grandfather, and the ache of fitting into a world where difference isn't always accepted. Her quotes appeared daily on a large whiteboard in her room that her parents and friends lovingly referred to as her wisdom from the whiteboard. Over the years, many people have asked when she might consider publishing them for all to enjoy. So here it is, Katelyn's personal wisdom for the ages. May her words help us all realize that disability is not inability and that we are all more the same than we are different.
