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...
