Renee Bartlett:  

Not many people knew that I have a rare nerological disorder called Mobius Syndrome. I can't smile or close my lips together. Only 250 people in the world had it when I was growing up but now there's about 1-2000 cases worldwide. I know a lot of people thought I was retarded and didn't really have a problem letting me know their feelings regarding this. As a result I was dismissed and ignored a lot. Why waste your time, right? That's about how I feel about many of my ":classmates." It shouldn't come as a surprise that I probably won't show up at any reunions anytime soon.

One of the characteristics of Moebius can be clubbed feet, which I was born with. I had already 4 surgeries on my feet before kindergarten. Before I even hit 25 I would have 8 more surgeries. As a result I am now permanently disabled. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Business Admin from National College in 1994. Due to my disabilities I was never able to really get a decent job and now I, unfortunately, still live at home. I really don't think anyone ever knew me in school or wanted to know me. But it's all good. I didn't want to know any of you either, seeing as how most of you shunned me and treated me like utter crap most of my school experience. If I could do it over now I wouldn't have sat back and took any of it. Hind site is 20/20 isn't it??
