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.

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...
