Aside from all of my accomplishments, I have had many setbacks as well. I am a strong believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason. I believe that all my setbacks and trials that I have been faced with were only to make me stronger than I was before. Therefore, there is no room to complain about anything. Each heartache or unexpected circumstance played its role in making me who I have become. It is because of the pre-judgments, wrongful stereotypes, lack of inclusion and misunderstandings of people living with a disability that I am so passionate about the work that I do to advocate for people living with disabilities. If I had not personally experienced all of these things, I would not have had a reason to work so hard to make a positive impact in today’s world.
With all of that being said, it is important that everyone take their times of trial and turn them into an accomplishment. Anyone has the ability to do that! We can overcome anything!
I hope all of you continue to be encouraged by the Ms. Wheelchair Washington Program!
