Dress your self Use your arms and legs . Wake up how would you feel? What if  you woke one day an need to use a wheelchair,cane or walker and you go to a job and you are pushed away because you appeared to be a person who is disabled? Who am I? Wake up.. What if you wake up with desires,dreams and goals but didn't know who to reach out too and the one that makes it happen is your msc! I wake up everyday with many goals and desires. My mind is like a clock that goes non-stop. Wake up in a different world! Its a blessing when you wake up being able to see etc.
