Question, will this help

<p>Okay, I have Tourette Syndrome </p>

<p>To many of you, TS is that disorder you all see in those dumb movies where a character will do something like constantly shout out sware words and slurs at random times. It is not like that!</p>

<p>Well,</p>

<p>many of you say it is how you overcame that disability.</p>

<p>I used to struggle with it, but recently I have worked as a counselor at a camp for kids with TS for the past two year's and I have taught kids how to overcome their disorder.</p>

<p>I also have had multiple public speaking appearences in schools and camps to inform people about the disorder and kill the negative stereo-types about it.</p>

<p>So I guess what I am saying is, will that help in the end?</p>

<p>Sounds like you've done a fine job of addressing your disability and also helping others. Your experiences could help at colleges that consider character and overcoming challenges as part of their admissions criteria.</p>

<p>It also could help if you apply for scholarships with similar criteria. Check to see if your local Papa Johns Pizza companies participate in their national scholarship programs because if you did a good job with your application, you could have a better than average chance of winning a $1,000 scholarship.</p>

<p>North,</p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>I'll definitely checkout the Papa John's thing!</p>

<p>I agree with Northstarmom. What colleges like to see isn't just that you have a disability (after all, everyone has problems, great or small), but that you've overcome it and risen above it. From your post I believe you have successfully demonstrated overcoming your disability.</p>
