The Real Disability- Part 1

The Real Disability-Part 1                How do I start?   Normally I’d start by saying:   “I’m tired”!   Yet, I’m not tired…..I’m inspired!   Inspired to learn all I can and share all I know about being loved, hurt, smart, creative, dumb, happy, sad, and any other emotion a real human can experience.   Sharing can help.   Shame and secrets hurt!   Aren’t there enough examples of the shame and secrets in the media?                  Often hearing I’m too young to be experiencing the things I have and still do, leave men speechless.   No doctor has the answer, no friends have the remedy, no bottle is deep enough and no drug continuously takes anyone that high.   The last 10 years of my life have been one challenge after another.   Trying to give up over and over and over and over and ov...

Our Youth's Education is at Risk!

         There was a woman (race not important for this) on television the other day.  She was being interviewed by a female reporter.  Forgive me, I can't recall the station nor the show because the content grabbed my attention instantly!  The middle-aged woman was crying to the reporter.  The woman told the reporter she did not want to tell her students to go to college.  Yes, the middle aged woman was a teacher!  She continued by saying she couldn't bare to see the faces of her students when they found out she lied about their futures.  The teacher stated if she told them going to college would lead to a successful career and a great life, she would be lying.  When in reality, she further spoke, a person graduates from college with tremendous debt, working a underpaying job, and struggling to balance family time vs. work to pay bills time.         I had to sit back and...
