How can you call me a late bloomer when I'm blooming on my terms? How can you call me underprivileged when I have the privilege of learning resilience? How can you call me shortsighted  when my vision is grander and brighter than yours? How can you call me illiterate  when learning goes beyond words and numbers? How can you call me a student when I'm the one that's guiding you? Call me your equal, and I'll probably pause to listen to you.
