We are able to do things, just differently. We still can get it done, perhaps with assistance from a device or accommodations like a ramp or a person holding a door. \u2026 We\u00a0 just need a whole lot of patience. My personal journey is showing that no matter how hard it is&#8230; there is a divine plan for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always remember that people may be born or pushed in a certain way, until they are unable to dream. I want to let them know they can do it. Life is not easy for any of us. Don\u2019t hold on to the negative disadvantages.
