My thirteenth winter
Synopsis
Samantha Abeel faced a bewildering challenge in seventh grade: she struggled with basic tasks like telling time and counting change, despite being a straight-A student. This led to anxiety and a deep dread of school. In her thirteenth winter, Samantha bravely confronted her difficulties, leading to a diagnosis of a learning disability. This is her story of discovering inner strength and finding hope even when things seemed most difficult.
