The perfect title??

    I was able to finally talk to my teachers about being in my film, and also my friend. My sister already agreed to be in it, and I really appreciated that. And the teachers that I want to be in my film agreed to be in it! Mr. McKnight and Ms. Van Buren were both really excited to be in it. Now I have to either ask my parents or other teachers to find out more adults to be in it. I also need to ask some of my other friends, but i think that will be easy since all they have to do is just say one line. 
    After I figure out all the people that will be at the end part of my film, I need to assign lines to them. Because when I was talking to my teachers about it, they asked what they would have to say, but i had to tell them that I still had to figure it out. I think that I want Mr. McKnight to say "everyone gets distracted sometimes" and Ms. Van Buren to say "your grades are so good! what do you mean you're struggling with ADHD?" 
    But I have a really big problem!! Barbara is not able to be in my film :(( She said that she's always really busy on weekend, so she can't film during them. Then I asked my friend Martina, and she also said that she was really busy this weekend and next weekend too. THEN I asked my friend Scarlet, and she said that she couldn't do it either!! AHHH I have no idea how I will find someone to play the friend character. I will have to ask a lot of my friends tomorrow in order to film something this weekend. It was a really big mistake to wait until the last minute to try and find a friend to be in my film. 
    Also bad thing that happened was that I had a conference with all of my teachers in the morning today. The bad thing about this conference was that I started crying, because I just felt so misunderstood and overwhelmed. One thing that was discussed was my 504 plan. Or actually, lack there of. Only one of my teachers, my environmental teacher, agreed that I should have one. I talked with her the day before, and she said that even if a student has good grades, they should still have a 504 plan if they are diagnosed ADHD. I totally agree with her. My other teachers didn't seem to understand my struggles though. They said that since they don't see me turning in my tests and quizzes in late, then I don't really need extra time. However, what they don't know is that I actually guess for most of the last questions because I feel embarresed when I am the last one to finish. So most of teh times, I just guess on these questions, which really takes a toll on my grades. I felt terribel throughout the entire meeting. BUT!!! I think this helped me with my film. Becuase not only do I have more lines to add to the end of the opening with things people have said to me about my ADHD, i think I also have the perfect title!
    Presenting the perfect title... "INVALIDATED." I think that this is the perfect title, because this is how I feel every time someone tells me that I should not struggle, since I am so smart. This invalidates all of my feelings when people tell me things like this. So... I think that this is the perfect title to show exactly how people should feel for the main character.
