Yesterday was an ok day. After I finished my requirements in the morning I was feeling bored and my dad fixed my boring problem by asking me to do the Empathy Challenge. I chose to be mute like last time and thought it would be easier this time but it wasnt at all. My brother kept irritating me all day trying to make me talk but somehow I managed not to react to what he was doing. I finally finished the challenge at 9pm and was so glad and thankful that I could go back to talking. It is a humbling experience to step into somebody else's shoes to see what they go through everyday with this disability. I am up early this morning and done with most of my requirements. My dad called me to write this journal. Have a good day!

Yesterday was a good day. I finished all my requirements and then watched the movie Sing with my family. My grand uncle has never seen this movie before and therefore we all watched it together.
