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

Quarantine is a new normal for many but is not strange to those with disabilities

Life in quarantine as person with a disability is nothing new it's often our reality in some cases. Before this current situation I feel like I once lived in aspect of quarantine in high school for 4 years. It never really hit me to make such connection to the new reality until today.  In 2009 the beginning of my high school journey On the first day of school when the school bus came to pick me up the diver inform my mom  that the school i was in route to go to was not wheelchair accessible.. I never really talk out this experiences in my speeches but a few weeks ago I was ask to share my journey with college students majoring in education ask me if I had the opportunity of going to same schools as  my peers and neighbors if wanted too and that was when the light went of in my head to share this experience. very few of my neighborhood schools are wheelchair accessible so again my parents and I didn't have many choices on placement of school. Once I got the okay to...

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...

the story of college

I graduated with with honors from community college Kingsborough Community College. it was a success of course but a road mix with lot. ASK ME How? But I have a story to tell.. This all started in 2013 This was a true journey but I made it I made it! During this college journey from the beginning it was draining.Many times I wanted to give up!! dealing with unreliable transportation such as Access A Ride and needing to set my schedule around my home attendant. They were days I got to school 10 minutes before my class ends.. some days I only had one class so it was just enough time for me to wait for my Access A Ride to return home I spend most of my day traveling from time to time it was 2 hours to go to college and 2 hours to come home so most of my time in class was 4 hours for 2 classes My home attendants went to school with me to support me with my personal needs so I have them for 8 hours a day and needed to make sure I am home in...
