Reading Anxiety

Aaron's teacher asks the class to write a story. As Aaron stands to deliver his story, he stumbles, but soon realizes, although he has difficulty reading and writing to create a story, his visual artistic giftedness gives him the voice to share what he has to say.
Aaron, who has a learning disability, still struggles but perseveres as he continues to break the code, but is not defeated, because he knows it doesn't define him.
