Positive: A Memoir by Paige Rawl, Ali Benjamin, Jay Asher

4.0

I don't know when I downloaded this audiobook or how I even found it. It has been sitting there in audible for a very long time and I didn't think I was ever going to listen to it. I put it on today for background noise. When I first started it, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. Memoirs are not my cup of tea, normally. I learnt a lot from this memoir and I must say that Paige is so very strong to survive all that she had been through at such a young age when no one was on her side except her mom. Her school failed her, the adults in her life that were supposed to be there for her and help her through all of it, they failed her. She still came out on top. I am jealous of her courage, her thrive, her tenaciousness. She kept on going doing the things she loved like cheerleading and pageants. Even though she was hurting so much. Having teenagers myself, and a younger son that struggles with his disability, his self image... it breaks my heart to know that he needs those adults in his life to be there for him, and I hope that they always are! Thank you, Paige, for sharing your story and thank you for using your experience in a positive way to help other people, to educate people. Just thank you!
