“My most significant accomplishment was transitioning from social service to becoming a paraprofessional in the classroom. After working for a social service for about three years, the change was worth it. I’m in a better place with myself in life and doing better.

Glad I can still walk around, too, although it’s hard to do uphill climbs, especially on rocks and bricks. Back to writing for a bit until our next adventure.”
