Elementary School P.E/Adaptive P.E rewrite

I scrapped two posts a while ago when I was getting rid of posts that were really inaccurate. With two of them I turned them into drafts because of inaccurations and putting someone into a good light that hated me (a teacher). They were a lot more in depth than this post will be. I'm going to read into those posts later, and possibly make another post about this subject. I was talking to a few people on Facebook when I was in high school. But someone found me several years later in hydrocephalus groups on Facebook that started to send others my way right away. I found out through some of these people, and in the hydrocephalus groups about people who had to sit out completly because of their shunts. From what I remember most of these people were/are older than me by a decade. If you're just recently looking into my blog current shunt technology really started to improve in 1962 with a shunt that Roald Dahl helped invent to help his Son who has hydrocephalus. Before his shunt the technology exisisted but it was far more dangerous, which says a lot considering how bad things can still get now. So the survival rate really started to improve at this point. Which is why I've never really met anyone with congenital hydrocephalus (either online or in person) that is currently much older than 60. There was rules regarding football and contact sports that had to be taken seriously in my case, and they were. My 5th grade teacher noticed how bad I was doing athletically. I ended up in Adaptive P.E for 2 years which was either 1 on 1, or 1 on 2. It helped a lot, although I've made no attempt at sports since High School. I had at least 2 adults in my life that was making a huge attempt at making me feel like that I was mentally retarded. The adaptive P.E instead went out of the way to do the opposite. There was other stuff going on at the that made me black out things that the 2 other adults were doing to make me feel the wrong way about myself. But even though it was the same period, I either never forgot the words that the instructer used to make me feel better, or it was far easier for me to remember how he thought of me. Look through my labels at the end of the web version of this post for my post about Roald Dahl. I'll be working on a more indepth post about him soon. I haven't been able to work on more indepth posts for a while for multiple reasons. Thanks for reading!
