“Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. ” – Mattie Stepanek
It’s 12 : 09 PM on day 1785 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Matthew 17, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –Prognosticate [prog·nos·ti·cate] tr.v. To predict according to present indications or signs; foretell. “The armchair quarterback tried to prognosticate the play from his recliner.” – have breakfast, and promote my Educate Generations campaign – I really want to get to $3 500 only $128 short there’s something about round numbers that I find strangely comforting i’m 100% sure my parents would donate $128 if I asked them to but I won’t I’ve never been one to do things the easy way I can do this I know I can 🙂 .
Today marks the ten month anniversary of my Educate Generations campaign benefiting the Malala Fund so far sixty people (including me and my parents) have made ninety-eight donations totalling $3 372 I continue to be blown away by the world’s support.
