I Haven't Had An Easy Life, But At Some Point ,you Have To Take Responsibility For Yourself And Shape Who It Is That You Want To Be. I Have No Time For Moaners. I Like To Chase My Dreams And Surround Myself With Other People Who Are Chasing Their Dreams, Too.

I'm Not An Advocate For Disability Issues. Human Issues Are What Interest Me. You Can't Possibly Speak For A Diverse Group Of People. I Don't Know What It's Like To Be An Arm Amputee, Or Have Even One Flesh-and-bone Leg, Or To Have Cerebral Palsy.
