On the “Your Blank, What now” podcast hostess M arci Nettles and I discuss my life as a person with multiple disabilities helped me develop an unusual determination to prove myself starting in childhood and through my young adultr years. I share how during the setbacks of being invited to seek education elsewhere 4 times and being invited to seek employment elsewhere did not discourage me from pursing my dreams.
I share how my positive attitude and self-confidence led to finding my wife and the relationship with her that helped carry me through additional difficulties I faced when I survived an incomplete spinal cord injury.
