A Not So Typical Sixth Graders Story by Tylia L. Flores Pdf

Before he found his passion for writing, he was just an 11-year-old boy with buck teeth, trying to find his way born with Cerebral Palsy. Austin Keller loves science, and someday he hopes to discover the cure for Cerebral Palsy, but as he enters middle school and deals with the everyday struggles of being a preteen with Cerebral Palsy, he soon finds himself in a pickle as he discovers he has a new passion that has always been there. He discovers he loves to write, and he finds his passion in writing stories and poetry. He starts to write every day and soon discovers that writing helps him to cope with his disability and the struggles he faces. Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize winner, wrote: “Writing is really a way of thinking--not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet.”
