Every successful person with a potentially life-defining medical condition makes a conscious decision to change their perception of their condition and make it work for them – that’s what I have realized.

It’s 12 : 39 PM on day 1780 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Matthew 12, publish my Disability of the Day feature,    learn one new thing -Sandhogs are a unique corps of underground workers who carve out the utility shafts that keep New York City alive. Sandhogs earned their name in the 1880s while clearing sand to build the Brooklyn Bridge. More recently they’ve been working on City Tunnel No. 3, a 60-mile water line scheduled for completion in 2020.– have breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 372 raised so far (thanks so much everyone).

Recently I watched “My story is painted on my body | Chantelle Brown-Young | TEDxTeen” – a Ted Talk by Chantelle Brown-Young (a model who just happens to have Vitiligo) – which made me realize that every successful person with a potentially life-defining medical condition makes a conscious decision to change their perception of their condition and make it work for them.
