INtroductory Blog for the ARC . Like a Hero does

My Life has been a story of never giving up ; and having faith in times when I didn't think I could be confident at all . Its that strength and determination to helped me reach my goals and has pulled me through so many tough times . I have rebelled and proven why I deserve to come to the result differently . My disability of cerebral palsy has required me to find unique solutions to everyday problems . It causes me to be creative with how I do things . I struggle with driving , walking and being solely independent . These hardships have robbed me of freedom . I must depend upon others to drive me to work , mentor me and assist me with other physically demanding tasks . 

One of the reasons I love marketing is that it gives me a place to bring attention to and promote to the needs of the disabled that I believe are not being sufficiently met .My input will hopefully bring solutions to problems .My largest struggle has been transportation . I applied for the Washington County Commuter two years ago and I have still not been provided the Para- Transit service . I have tried to even get advocation counseling and I end up still waiting . Next , I am researching Service Coordinators to see if they can help . Other advocacy programs like the Developmental Disabled Association haven't helped because they place restrictions of qualification such as level of intelligence; and Rights for Independence has small local Hagerstown chapter that could only speak on behalf of the disabled that only let the counselor know of their client's immediate progress . 

A hero is someone that achieves what others would think was impossible ; a sign of eternal strength . I have had many people in my life that are examples of that and I'm inspired to keep going!
