I want to take a second and introduce myself. My name is Nathaniel Newman and I am moving to Reno from Short Hills, New Jersey. I’m going to be a 5th grader.My parents and I think it would be a good idea if I tell you a little about myself before you meet me for the first time. We think that might make it easier for us all to become friends. Why you ask? Well, I’m different than most kids you may have met before. I was born with a rare genetic birth defect called Treacher-Collins Syndrome(TCS). TCS causes a crazy thing to happen when you are growing in your momma’s belly.
