I certainly have. Many times. She works at the Tim Horton\u2019s on Hwy 11. She\u2019s a busy bee. She can often be seen making her rounds, diligently emptying the garbage bins around the drive-thru and inside, too. But mainly she\u2019s responsible for the inside lobby. She does a lot of cleaning and she\u2019s never one to complain. She has big brown eyes and brown hair to match. Sometimes she\u2019ll look up and see me. I usually smile. She looks like the quiet type, but friendly for sure. Once she told me she liked my hair. I always think to myself, hopefully that girl is appreciated at her job.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13544 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/courtney_wagg6.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/courtney_wagg6-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/courtney_wagg_andjean.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/courtney_wagg_andjean-214x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><em>Anyone who frequents the Tim Hortons on Hwy 11 knows Courtney Wagg. Here (above left), she&#8217;s comfy on her couch at the Wagg family home. Computers are her thing. Courtney&#8217;s mom, Jean (above right with Courtney), has always been her biggest supporter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She tells me she doesn\u2019t mind emptying the garbage, even In the summer when the smell is rank from baking in the heat. The only thing that makes her upset is when people throw their garbage on the ground. She likes her job because she likes people. She\u2019s been working there for the last 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>Courtney has been living with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) for most of her life. It\u2019s a neurobiological disorder that makes it difficult for people to control their behavior and to maintain their focus. To be honest, I didn\u2019t even know ADD was considered a disability. Her mother, Jean, tells me that up until Courtney was about six, she was a thriving child who met or exceeded all her milestones. She was \u201cflying around in a walker at six months\u201d and walked and talked early. But then Jean starting noticing a change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce she was into kindergarten, her development wasn\u2019t on the scale it should have been,\u201d Jean explains. \u201cAs a parent we didn\u2019t see that. She wasn\u2019t quite doing everything she should have been, but overall she was doing well. Finally, she was diagnosed by a doctor when she was about six. He told us she wouldn\u2019t graduate from high school. That she&#8217;d be pregnant by the time she was in grade nine. I left his office crying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The way Courtney describes her early experience with the onset of her ADD is straightforward. Little things would set her off. She\u2019d get mad and extremely frustrated. It was difficult for her to maintain focus on her schoolwork. Learning to read was a huge challenge for her and to this day she is still working on her writing skills.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I\u2019d get really agitated when things didn\u2019t go right\u2026 I would just get very angry. They [doctors] did a lot of tests because they didn\u2019t know what was wrong with me. They gave me one pill. It changed my moods pretty bad. I wasn\u2019t on it that long. <cite>Courtney Wagg<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having ADD and attending a regular public school meant extra take-home studies. Courtney also had to have an Educational Assistant by her side for learning purposes beginning in grade five. For Jean, it also meant bumping heads with a few teachers along the way. One teacher told Jean that he didn\u2019t know how to teach Courtney. Courtney&#8217;s mom tells me about the bullying. It was pretty heartbreaking for Jean to watch her only daughter get picked on for something she had no control over. Kids, with all their sweet innocence, can be so cruel. Once, Courtney was pulled across the yard. Another time her backpack was thrown over the fence. Courtney even ran away from school. Luckily, she went to where she felt safe and ended up at her mom\u2019s workplace.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13516\" style=\"width: 946px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13516\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13516\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/04\/courtney_wagg2.jpg\" alt=\"Courtney and her mom hold a picture of them together during a recent vacation to Cuba.

She usually kept to herself. She spent a lot of time hanging out with adults because it was easier. She could communicate better with them. It&#8217;s like they understood her, she says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And on the other end of all this is my son, who is now a working lawyer. He always had her back. She was held back [in school] and so they graduated public school together. They graduated high school together.

A beautiful photo of a waterfall and other pieces of artwork displayed in her family home prove she might be missing her calling as a professional photographer. The neighbour&#8217;s dog has even been one of her subjects.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When she was 13, Courtney was diagnosed with scoliosis. She was required to wear a full body brace for 16 hours a day for two whole years. Every six months, the family headed down to SickKids Hospital in Toronto so a new cast could be made and adjusted to fit her growing body. To this day, Jean praises the hospital. It&#8217;s not only where the best and most caring doctors out there worked hard to correct the curvature in Courtney&#8217;s spine, but it&#8217;s where her learning disabilities were officially labeled as well.<\/p>\n<p>She isn\u2019t on any medication to treat her ADD. And what\u2019s so remarkable about Courtney is that she has learned to deal with it, in her own way. Stepping away from a situation that gets her all worked up is usually the best remedy. She\u2019s a working woman in her 30s now. She pays rent to her parents. Courtney has a lot going for her. She has an amazing eye and has found a hobby as a budding photographer. Dozens of framed photographs (or artwork as her mom calls it) line the walls in the Wagg family residence. She\u2019s computer savvy and loves anything to do with electronics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourtney has a heart of gold. She\u2019s a hard worker. She\u2019s independent\u2026 more independent than I am. In my own eyes, I have a lot of pride in my daughter. That\u2019s the best way to sum it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>If you enjoyed reading about this extraordinary person you may be interested in these stories as well:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/happy-and-healthy-this-eco-friendly-mom-spreads-the-love\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Happy and healthy, this eco-friendly mom spreads the love<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/this-wolfe-leads-the-pack-by-example\/\" target=\"_blank\">This Wolfe leads the pack by example<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!

I love this little town. I always knew it would be the place I'd plant my roots. I need coffee, a bag of chips, bubble bath and foot rubs. My kids are my life. I believe in sleeping in on Sundays and that laughter is the best medicine. Writing has always been my thing and I have an interesting rock collection, too. I enjoy meeting new people so if you see me out and about don\u2019t be shy to say hi.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/laura\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
