Trail Blazzing



To the girl who was told she could not be a lot things.. told college was not possible told job supports was not possible because i need to be able to transfer out my wheelchair.. never hard back from a job interview i went to to support individuals with disabilities on their college campus classes.. to the educators and school team who simply saw me through my wheels as if i could not get very far is graduating college with my associates degree in a few weeks. .seeing students with disabilities face obstacles with remote learning and is falling behind even the last to start this process.. i am ready to rewrite how a school looks like for students with uniqueness as i call it.. i am going higher not only about starting a non profit but to create school for child with disabilities.. i don't have it but i am going all the way up to my masters degree slowly but for sure! they need my voice better yet the passion and vision that i have♥ ❤..
especially in those leadership roles..

As these what's next after I get this degree

so yes I can be what I dream, aspire to be.. i can do what i put my mind to yes i can.. the level of my college education will not limit me in the mountains i am about to climb as a change maker.. don't to go high to say you i got this degree and that's what makes you better than anyone else.. going to college these few years.. i lost myself.. forget about how i need to go to physical therapy more.. lost grants.. had to fight the battles.. get back on a roll and pay for college..
I'll set back be proud of everything I have accomplish.. how little how small coming through me and my journey my accomplishments are big
i am taking all i earn and rise..built mountains through my vision mind..
i really need to learn how to be proud of my accomplishments and who i am today..
i feel free and relax now more then ever and i need to take in the feelings and move forward from this chapter.. and create a new one in my career chapter

No shame in my story..its just my life

Growing up I have endured so much in life I  don't know where to start. I was born normal but recieved medical neglect while in inventive care  for 3 months there is still many hiding pieces to this story but it does not stop me from dreaming big. I break barriers..In high school they had no plan for my future because people didn't take the time to get to know me from students to staff..They was so hestited to get to know they always questioned others before the questioned me..They asked my para many times can I talk and she would she yes talk to ketrina. She knows more then what you may think! The frame of my wheelchair fooled many and made them judge mental of me.. They plan on placing me in a day program due to my physical challenges that they thought may impact me in community educational setting..Not everybody in a wheelchair is disabled as you think this word needs to be expanded. My mind does affect my body that's what many don't realize but will need to beco...

I Graduated College. What's the journey was like?

On June 16. 2020 I officially graduated from Kingsborough Community College with my associates degree in liberal arts degree. 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. I knew I was free and empowered to tell my  college journey story! Now it's my time to shine! 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...

How Do you respond to the unexpected question why are you in a wheelchair?

THE  most challenging thing about having an obviously disability is when young children stare at you because you are in a wheelchair and comes up to you and ask you why you are a wheelchair? How do you respond to this especially when it’s a child? They often ask me what happen..Did I break my legs and I respond no I use to say I was born like this, they look at me like born in a wheelchair so now I just don’t answer because it's so unexpected. I want to be thoughtful about so I can respond with an honest educated statement because it does so well to educate children at a young age about people with disabilities. Advice to parents: If you make your child aware of people with disabilities it will an increase amount of awareness. It will stop the way people pity us. They will be educated on the language to use towards people with disabilities. Which I believe should start at an young age as well. Ignorant statements towards people with disabilities will decrease If you ...
