Since I lived only 4 hours away from our nation’s capital, my parents were able to drive me there. I was so excited about going and counting down the days till Friday, when I would arrive. I was going to share a room with Nathasha, Claudia, and Tess. I’d talked to them online and couldn’t wait to meet them in person.
Profoundly hurtful words can sear through you and unconsciously lower your self-worth over time. Some even argue that it is just as painful as being beaten. I must admit that this is a difficult topic to discuss being a verbal abuse victim myself.
Verbal abuse doesn’t get as much attention as other types of abuse but that doesn’t make it any less important or less painful. I’m not an enraged ex-girlfriend who wants to expose everything as revenge towards him. I just want people to realize the real issue of being ripped away from who you are. I hope that by sharing my story, some woman out there will be encouraged to find her own strength and leave her abusive relationship.
For the last three years, I have traveled to the east coast, on my own expense, to speak on behalf of the disabled community and discrimination, at Kean University.
Despite most myths and misinformation, getting an electric wheelchair isn’t that difficult providing your physician can document the need.
Clearly have them state that you need a manual, electric or even an electric chair with tilt features–it’s almost straight forward, but people make some simple mistakes.
It’s that time of year! I celebrate another year on this crazy place we call Earth. I am always thinking of ways to make my birthday a memorable one.
This year I want to focus on life itself. Turning 38 can bring many people to become nostalgic about their youth and resolve to capture that special feeling.
