Being 'different' is not a flaw. Introducing a true story video that gives you the power to believe in yourself

Hello everyone.
Today, I would like to introduce a short video that has recently become a hot topic on social media.
It is a digest of the story of Brad Cohen, who rose to become the National Teacher of the Year in the United States while living with Tourette syndrome.
In the video, he says this:
"This condition was my greatest obstacle. But at the same time, it was my greatest teacher."
When we struggle with speech difficulties or the gaze of those around us, we tend to think, 'I must fix myself.'
However, the protagonist of this video stops hiding himself and, by revealing his true self, wins the understanding of those around him and finds his own place in the world.
In particular, the moment the principal asks him in front of the entire student body, 'How can I help you?'
And his answer: 'I just want to be treated like everyone else.'
Isn't this the message that we, as those affected, most want to convey to society?
I hope this video will be a source of support for those who are currently struggling with something or those who need the courage to take a step forward.
