My studies are important to me. I made the honor role just recently, with 2 A's and 2 B's.

Rumors of sneezing, kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva spreading AIDS caused people to panic.

My name is Ryan White. I am sixteen years old. I have hemophilia, and I have AIDS.

Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.

I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.

Listening to medical facts was not enough. People wanted one hundred percent guarantees.

I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.

Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.

On December 17, 1984, I had surgery to remove two inches of my left lung due to pneumonia. After two hours of surgery the doctors told my mother I had AIDS.

Financial hardships were rough on us, even though Mom had a good job at G.M.

I came face to face with death at thirteen years old.

You were born into the world to fulfill a specific purpose in life. May you recognised your unique calling.

There is/no reasoning with need.

Decide on what you think is right and stick to it.

Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.

I was in Deadwood at the time and on hearing of the killing made my way at once to the scene of the shooting and found that my friend had been killed by McCall.

I just love kids. I always have.

More even than Southern Presbyterians and Southern Methodists, the Baptists provided the great mass of Confederate enlisted men.

You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers.

'Star Wars' hasn't changed my life at all.

Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, and my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.
