"i have  been diagnosed with add . i have always pushed myself to get good grades and to take as many ap and honors classes as i can handle. i enjoy learning about new things; however, my lack of focus got in the way of my learning. it bothers me when people say add/adhd is made up. i know that people who don&#039;t have this disorder can&#039;t truly understand what it&#039;s like. without adderall my mind is foggy and i can&#039;t take the fog away to learn about the things that i love. all my friends know that i have a strong passion for physics and astronomy, but it&#039;s very hard for me to pick up a book without forgetting most of what i read after i finished it. on adderall i feel like the fog fades always and my mind is like a clear sunny day. oh how i wish that i didn&#039;t have to take this every day and just naturally be as focused. i am just an 18 year old who is trying to pursue her dreams, but without this medication i&#039;m not sure how i can get through college to learn what i love. i can now look through my telescope at the stars without the clouds getting in the way."
