Joelle Fundaro spoke at Hope College in 2016.

Learning disabilities are often invisible to everyone but the people who have them.

Eventually, though, the secret gets out. When that happens, it can be an incredibly emotional experience.

Watch Fundaro tell her story at Hope College below.

Failure:Lab stories are all about an essential part of the human experience: the fact that everyone bumps into failure sometimes.
