My Journey: The beginning
Hey guys,
My name is Noldon Starks. I was born with Ocular Motor Apraxia which deals with my fine motor skills. For example, I couldn't pick up individual coins from a table. Another example is that I couldn't tie my shoes until I was three years old. When I was a pre teen, I was diagnosed with Joubert Syndrome. I still have Ocular Motor Apraxia but the symptoms of Joubert Syndrome is more common in me. Joubert Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects my coordination, balance and speech. Joubert Syndrome is very similar to Ocular Motor Apraxia. There are a lot of different forms of Joubert Syndrome and I shake my head involuntarily. A lot of people in elementary school didn't really understand why I shook my head so they teased and bullied me. People would ask me why I shake my head but I was too embarrassed to tell them due to the insecurities that I had about myself. My goal of this blog is to empower and inspire individuals. The experiences that I went through and the experiences that I'm going through currently will hopefully help others to be themselves and not let others distract them from achieving their dreams.
