Politics Aren't Really Boring. . . Not Anymore

I think that it's interesting to share my unique "life" experiences of trying to successfully make it through college. Using this blog, I am able to share my stories of things I like and how college has been such a big change for me- especially going to a college away from home and trying to live independently. My disability, besides having the challenges of being able to successsfully be on my own, has also made getting involved in various activities quite a challenge. I used to think that people with disabilities.
I used to think that being involved in politics was only something that the able-bodied, sighted society only got involved in- whether in high school, college, and even after college. Now; however, I am beginning to learn that this just isn't the least bit true. I have been thinking of politics stereotypically, and I am learning that it is for anyone who is interested in making a change.

My Interesting Life As a Student

Springfield, Illinois, United States
I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
