Behind the advocacy life

Behind the advocacy world this was never me.
When I become an advocate my world change, dreams as well as my personal life.
I am a star.
I am voice and opportunities grow each day I am bless.
I have endured so much before  advocacy I was always down now I have so much energy I am completly unstoppable.
Advocacy 24\7 on the roll.

Not giving up just found a different path

Often people judge me and will over look the choose I making but this is my life and I decide how I want to live it. Here is the great news I graduate high school and pushed and advocated that I go to college because at that time the only idea people had for me was to place me in a day program but I 100%  denied because I knew this world was big and opportunities now after two years of being in college and receiving college credits and is a good student I found that the knowledge I am getting in college will never been put to use in the work environment so I found my desire to  pursue my journey in becoming an certified administrative assistant and possibly a bookkeeping as well. I will begin this new journey after I complete  my fall 2015 semester I hope to go into the program. So excited for my new goal!

Spread Advocacy into the Caribbean

Disability History is important to me and I am  noticing that the Carribbean lack a lot for an important part of society. The Caribbean for people with disabilities is an example of Americans past for people with special needs
Check back for updates as I working on a paper for this topic..
Thank you!!

I am not broken so I am not disabled.

I am not broken
SO I am not disabled
What makes me disabled
is being differently abled
Some things are just a little more challenging than others
I am filled with inspiration and abilities..
All of these things make me different

My Experience During My Oral History For Visible Lives

On the day I had my Oral Historical project for visible lives I was interviewed by Monica Diaz. I was very nervous the night before this interview so I started writing down ideas because my story can go on and on. I just never know where to start. It was very funny.. Once we begin the interview my thoughts just started to flow without  any hesitation.. I guess it was the time to express what I really want the world to know about a person with a disability or to educate the indivduals around us about physical or intellectual disabilities.  When I begin to speak about all what I do and how I am a great advocate with all the committees I serve on as well as being a college student.. Monica was really inspired by my story and ask me when do I have time for friends and I had to laugh and say I always have to check my calendar all time. Monica also wished me will in my journey and said she hope to see me in the White House in 5 to 10 years from now like I expect to as well...
