Anxiety

When I go to school on occasion I worry that I will be treated differently because of my hearing.

something completely out of my control.

I fear that a teacher could pick me out of the class because of my differences.

I know that this is not likely

but that does not stop me from thinking about what I would do if that did happen. 

I imagine that happening and see me getting up and walking out of the classroom if it is clear that it's about my hearing aids.

I worry that if I am feeling fatigued during the day that a teacher will not care. 

that they will say just go to the nurse 

who will not understand that for me to feel better I need to listen to music.

they won't let me do that.

And that's not fair.

even though its unlikely I still have this fear and I don't think that will change.

    Not because I don't care about school. In fact I want to learn,
