I used to be a little annoyed at high school classmates that seemed unable to follow instructions and or focus on work assigned and would seem to just not want to do their work. I was able to knock out any assignment given during class in less than the time allotted, and it would frustrate me when the teacher would extend the time because one student hadn’t finished the assignment. I truly thought that their ‘ADD’ excuse was just that, an excuse.
Now, quite ironically, I have ADD. I guess I always had it but it wasn’t as overpowering then as it is now. Before, I did have some issues with organization but they weren’t that bad, and I was always able to follow through with a task. Nowadays, it is hard for me to focus on one thing at a time, and I tend to struggle following through with a task. I now take medication on paperwork days to help me finish what I start.
I regret being so unfair with my judgment of those classmates that struggled with what is now my reality. I judged them without having all the information and for that I am very sorry. This has helped me not be so quick in judging and making my own assumptions, there is always two sides of the story.
