I met up with an old friend that has a similar disability to mine. She uses augmentative communication with her eyes and I was chatting now her last night. She’s graduated high school and looking for work. I, myself, was impressed. From what I gather, she’ll be working at a camp. I am very proud of her. She’s got more disabilities than I do and she’s job hunting.
More people should be willing to take risks in the job market. I’m sure that if more people with disabilities did, the economy would prosper. Don’t let your issues prevent you from getting a job. I didn’t let my disability stop me from volunteering and going to college so why should you? Getting a job might help you defeat depression and boredom. I feel that discrimination against people with disabilities has lessened as the years passed. Make it your New Year’s resolution and make a living for yourself.
