YOURE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Easton LaChappelle (22) He made his first robotic hand at the age of 14, using LEGO and fishing wire. He met a young girl aged 7 her prosthetic cost $80,000. He made it his mission to help people like that little girl and decided to create a functional prosthetic limb that cost under $1,000. NASA asked him to work on their Robonaut team. In January 2018, his company attracted nearly 400 investors in 2 weeks!
Malala Yousafzai (20, 21 tomorrow!) Malala blogged for the BBC about life under the Taliban and her desire to return to school. She and her family were forced to flee their home as the Pakistani army returned. Malala continued her fight for education rights and, in 2012, aged 15, masked gunmen boarded her school bus and shot her in the head. She survived, but she and her family moved to England, where she returned to school in 2013 and continued her fight for girls' rights to education. In 2014, at the age of 17, Malala became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. She's now a student at the University of Oxford and continues to travel globally in support of women's rights.
Louis Braille (12) Louis was only 12 when he learned of a communication system used by the French army, which laid the groundwork for his own system of reading and writing used by the blind. He completed his alphabet of raised dots by the time he was 15. It has since spread throughout the world and is still in use today.

I did not qualify for mitigating circumstances during exams because I should be used to dealing with my long- term condition I was unable to participate in contact sport, but I was forced to change into a sports kit and stand at the side of the pitch I cant keep up with writing in class but you said that if you give me handouts, youd have to do that for everyone else and that is not fair
I am a person. Not a health problem.
