I am holding a ribbon with puzzle pieces, which represents my brother with autism. The pictures represent other people in my family. I am showing that I am proud of my brother even though he has autism. It’s important because I am not embarrassed to have a brother that’s different.

My hand is holding the ribbon.

I come from a normal middle class family. I have younger twin brother and sister. We live in a rural area with neighborhoods. In my free time, I like playing basketball and volleyball. I also like baking for friends and family. My goal is to be the best I can be in school and helping my parents. When I grow up, I want to work with children or animals.
