Although I'm primarily wheelchair-bound, it doesn't stop me from being actively involved in the community. For the most part, I'm unable to communicate vocally; however, people can still understand some of the words I say. The societal perception is that I'm unintelligent and incapable of holding a conversation because I use a tablet to communicate.

In reality, I can communicate just as well as the next person.

I do not and have not let anything stop me from reaching my goals. When people tell me or even assume I'm unable to do something, I become determined to prove them wrong. It's like waving a red flag at a bull. Despite my achievements, people continue to doubt me, but I'm laser-focused on my goals, and I do achieve them.
