Hey Stacy,
You go girl, I wish I had your
atitude. Ive got everything in the world going for me, I still run my farm
im envolved in the festival of friends, we throw a 2 day festival of events to
collect money for needy people. I was the first , when I got hurt this
festival made up over 50, 000.00 dallars for me. Im on the board of the
Industrial development Authority, we work at getting new industry in the
county. I try to stay busy but still can't get out of this funk, any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the ears.

Subject: [QUAD-L] my fate?
In my situation I feel like what happened to me happened for a reason.
I'm definitely using my experience as a disabled person to guide me through
the rest of my life to help others. I wonder about why I was put in the
chair but it seems to come together when I think about my past patterns in
starting and education for a certain career and then quitting. I
originally was in school for elementary education special ed. I
also substituted school and did so in a school that was geared towards special
needs children (physical and cognitive disabled). . I felt bad for
the children and took it home with me everyday. I had those children on
my mind all the time. Since I couldn't separate work from my life, I decided
to go another way still wanting to teach but not special needs. I then
decided that I did not want to teach at all and stopped going to school so I
did not waste my Dad's money. I instead ended up waiting tables in
Ocean City and taking off a couple of months in the winter since it's a resort
town where I live and where I worked closed. Here I am 12 years later
and in school again for a job to help disabled. Kind of ironic that if I
weren't in the chair I wouldn't be in school now let alone for something that
I pretty much started doing.
