The story of Marie Krengel

The Transparent Story of Marie Krengel
She would be described as fun, cheerful, friendly and athletic. Marie is a lover of cats. She enjoys playing volleyball, tennis, and softball. And so may know of her dream of one day becoming an athletic trainer. Marie had a pretty solid child, and has close relationship with her family. Some close to her may know her routine on a typical day, of waking up going to school, and after school as math tutoring and sometimes Volleyball practice. But something that most people don't know about my classmate Marie is that as a child Marie had speech problems. She was put in IEP known as Individualized Education Program. Since this occurred when she was little she doesn’t remember much about the program. Maries estimates that it was by 8th grade when she left the program. Listening to Marie during her interview I determined that this was the most unique thing about her. When asked what is something most people don’t know about you Marie responded “Most people don’t know that I had speech problems when I was little” while interviewing her I found this fact fascinating because there is no trace of such. Not that I was excepting any trace of her childhood speech problems, of course not, but she was transparent and talked about it so openly.
