So remember…

We can change the world

We have a “can do” attitude, do you?

“We, the one’s who are challenged, need to be heard. To be seen not as a disability, but as a person who has, and will continue to bloom. To be seen not only as a handicap, but as a well intact human being.” – Robert M. Hensel
