family had ever known what an albino was and what it meant to be an albino.
My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best
thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the anger came along, I could deal with it.

me that much.

Eventually , I got better at school and loved it. By the
time I got to college, I was double

I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain
confidence, and
be proud of my
personal achievements.
