I’m still sitting home without a job. Almost a month has gone by and I’m doing nothing. I’m writing a lot, but that’s part of my day. The other part is spent by watching T.V., reading or talking to friends.
Although, I did handle my first advocacy case. A girl with Down syndrome in my area got denied for a summer program for people with disabilities. She loves the program and it greatly helps her. But the school refuses to pay for it because they’re too concerned about summer enrichment programs. In my opinion, the school system is going downhill. If a child loves a camp, then send her and offer less summer enrichment programs. Otherwise, the child will be bored all summer and since it’s an educational camp, she won’t be able to review what she learned in school.
