Molly was cute, with brown hair and freckled skin.
Yours truly had a crush on her.
One day after school,
there she was at her locker…
So, something sprung up inside me “I should ask her out”.
And so I did.
And she told me, without even looking at me. “I have a boyfriend, but you’ll be the first to know.”
At first I was crushed, but when she said you’ll be the first to know there was a sense a hope. Maybe she would come around I thought.
But as time went on, nothing changed.
The lesson was, don’t allow yourself to be someone else back up plan. Have the fortitude and respect for yourself to know that you deserve better. And find someone that actually wants to be with you.
My name is Brandon Ryan,
I am 36 years old and reside out of my Omaha, NE. I was born with cerebral palsy and have had the deck stacked against me since my very first breath. The very premise of my life has been overcoming obstacles and coming through great darkness. Doctors didn't I would amount to much, and teachers didn't think I was smart enough to graduate college. Now, I am a, college graduate (psychology major) published author, motivational speaker, certified fitness and nutrition coach and I also teach adaptive self-defense to people will a host of different abilities. I'm extremely passionate about helping those see, that they are stronger than you they know and that they can over come anything!
