My disability does not stop me

 When I was graduating high school no help me plan my future. I did all the work on my own..My OT therapist mention in a meeting he had with my mom that an Day hab program would be the perfect for me. Not because I have a disability does not mean I have to be placed  where ever society fail us. How can you simple label someone because they use a wheelchair.

This June 2020 This day turned less expected then I imagine due to situations happening in the world but it didn't change anything about me getting my degree on that day my degree was conferred.

Many may have viewed my time in college as totally a success story but trust me I faced lots of struggles that I truly never shared in my college struggles because it felt odd for many reasons "What IF I fail??? but what if I fly???  Growing up for the past 18 years and have been apart of the special education system. I remember my mom sharing with me in the beginning of me going into the public school system a school physiologist came to evaluate me and because I didn't respond to her she assumed I didn't know my colors and made a decision th...
