Credo

My mind is not defective. It is different.

I accept myself for who I am.

I am capable of getting along with society.

I ask for help when I need it.

I am worthy of others’ respect and acceptance.

I will be patient with those who need time to understand me.

I will build my career on my abilities and interests.

I will share.

I make music that speaks to people.

I use my mind.

to Create a Virtual Heart.
