My likes:
Computers, video games, chess, Special Olympics basketball and track & field.
My story:
I am hearing and visually impaired. I was too embarrassed about my disabilities. I learned that advocating was not always easy. I learned to ask for help and advocacy for myself has become a powerful tool.
LifeMyWay means:
The right to choose what I want to be, where I live and who I communicate with.
My dreams:
I want to work with computers after college and live in my own apartment.
