Obtaining employment has been a lesson in perseverance for me . Ive had to remain steadfast in my pursuit of my goal . A positive attitude has been hard to keep at times when the whole world gives a list of reasons why you can't be who you want. You feel invisible , weird , awkward , and without a place to belong . There have been many mentors and inspirations that have encouraged me to embrace my uniqueness with my disability and limitations . But the most recent of those individuals finally convinced to me follow my dreams and embrace what makes me different . Someone's uniqueness and speciality can be the very thing that attracts people to you . These qualities may be the thing that qualifies you for the job .
