\nAbout the Host:
\n
\n
\n
\nMatthew Cox spent his elementary and middle school years thinking there was something wrong with his brain. For him, schoolwork was a daunting, frustrating, and often embarrassing challenge. He was the kid who never seemed to catch up with his classmates, no matter how hard he tried. \u201cGrowing up with a disability was like having an elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about,\u201d Matthew explained. Being diagnosed with a learning disability during high school helped he finally put a name to the problem, and to begin his journey to personal and academic success. \u201cI\u2019ve learned to befriend my elephant, I\u2019ve named him George,\u201d Matthew said. \u201cGeorge is not going away but I can choose how I feel about him.\u201d
