Get Over Yourself... We're Only Disabled! Hey my lovely readers.... Hope you are well. Chapter 12 We’re trying to be as independent as we can A lot of people with a disability want to get the best out of their lives, and try to become as independent as they can be. Sometimes, this depends on what disability they have and what is limiting them. We all require support at times but with the right assistance, we can slowly become a lot more independent as we learn how to do certain things for ourselves. I love being independent and being able to do things on my own, it gives me a sense of doing daily tasks myself and allows me to learn what I need to do and what I need adapted to be able to be independent. For some people, this might mean they can put the washing machine on without help or for others it might just mean being able to know the difference between ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and being able to use them correctly.

My exciting but nerve-racking adventure of college! Hi everyone This was a blog that I did for CP Teens, so I thought I'd share it on my blog as I haven't blogged for ages! Hope everyone is well and had a positive couple of weeks! Today, I am going to talk about my first half of the term at National Star College.

At college I am doing a Customer Service course, at the beginning I found it hard work to get used to all of the jobs, and tasks I needed to get done but I have started to become more quicker at tasks and finding them a lot more easier.

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...
