Day 2960: My Fight To Change Perceptions Continues

The world needs to move from self-centeredness to altruism  – that’s my message to the world

 

It’s 11 : 38 AM on day 2960 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, , read a Bible verse  and do some work

 

Recently I wondered what would happen if I stopped caring about how differently-abled people are perceived and I realized that I can’t stop caring because although I have opportunities to thrive in this life the opportunities that future generations of differently-abled people are presented with will depend on whether they are presumed competent or not and so for them my fight to change perceptions continues

Day 2430: No Skydiving For Me Ever

Be flexible in your method but stay committed to your purpose  – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 11 : 35 AM on day 2430 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  have breakfast, read Proverbs 31: 10 and learn a new word – Definitions for sophistry
1. a subtle, tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning.
2. a false argument; sophism.

 

Today my Orthopaedic Surgeon’s office called back answering the question I asked them about whether it would be safe for me to skydive and sadly the answer is no, under no circumstances needless to say I’m super-bummed about it but my goal in life is to make a difference and change perceptions about the differently-abled while having fun I can do that without jumping out of a plane I can do that by writing books, travelling, telling my story everywhere….I can do that just by being myself.
