When I was young, I was categorized as "learning disabled". I wasn't allowed to take a second language in middle school or high school. I took "special" classes that were dumbed down for kids like me. I had a lot of resentment and spite-- that's for sure. I was accepted to college, no doubt with the help of my special categorization. When I began my studies I made it a point to take the hardest second language I could (Japanese at the time) and study abroad in Japan. I also made it a point to get a master degree in engineering, and then built a million dollar company on my own. So fuck them and their categories.
