Hello Connor Doran,
First, a big thank you!
I have been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, Panic disorder, and I felt like I could never live and could never do anything. That’s when I met you, diagnosed with Epilepsy and Anxiety, went on AGT and got onto the top 12 people, versus 90,000 people and millions of people watching you! I was amazed at how you just did that and showed my school!
After the show, I felt so engaged with your ability to do anything with Epilepsy and Anxiety. After the show, I knew I can do anything so I signed up for a play, Shrek. After the auditions, I got the lead! I felt so inspired that I did it because of you! I also really like your mom’s attitude with anxiety and how she said to never give up and look where I am now!
Again, a big thanks for helping me to do the show. I will give you some info about it as soon if you would like to come, and you are welcome to come.
Lots of thanks!
