Despite what others may think of me, I am educated, due to my eagerness to learn and my family's support.  I have two younger brothers (who are not disabled) and we are all well educated.  Both of my brothers are in the health care field, but I can barely use a letter opener with my feet, so open heart surgery wasn't an option.  Plus, I don't ever clip my toe nails.  

So, I decided to go into the tech field and have been working for Teacher Created Resources for some time now, but I am always looking to do more..

My family did not know what to do with me when it came to school.  My parents realized that I wasn't a basket case.  So, getting an education was important.

Carl Harvey was a school for the physically disabled.  They had preschool through high school.  HELL NO, I wasn't going to be traped in one school throughout my entire education.  

I have to give many thanks to my teachers at Carl Harvey for teaching me the basic fundamentals for me to succeed. ..

After a while, I out smarted the system and my parents decided to mainstream me in a regular Jr High.  YES, *puberty* hit during the right time and CHICS!!!

I went to Fountain Valley High School, where I lettered in Girls Softball.  I kept their stats and so on.  High school was lots of fun. and lots of partying.  

I received my AA degree at Orange Coast College.  I wasn't planning to be a lifer at OCC, so I transfer out of there as fast as I can and SEE YA!!!

I earned my BA in Speech Communication (ironic) at Cal State Long Beach.

Now, I know what you are thinking, "the cripple kid got a free pass.."  Well, other than getting great parking at malls, I do not play the cripple card, unless she is cute!!!

Besides school and my jobs, I am also on various organizations, such as California Department of Rehabilitation (ATAC), USC UCEDD, Orange County Goodwill (ATEC), and many others.
