Charity Michelle Harris spent her childhood feeling different. At age seven, she was diagnosed with Charcot Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT), a neuromuscular disease that made it difficult for her to do things like other little kids. Children would call Charity crippled, tease her for being skinny and would even imitate the way she walked. Even though she faced a few bullies growing up, Charity also had friends who were there when she needed them most. If her backpack were too heavy, some would carry it for her; if she stumbled or fell while walking, others would help her get back up; and when her hands were too tired to move, her friends would help her open her snacks. She wrote What If We Were All the Same! as a love letter to the child, she was- one who thought her differences made her unable and unimportant enough to chase her dreams.
