Day 648

My journey towards independence986
Day 648

Your dreams will come true if you’re willing to work hard to turn them into reality – that’s what I keep learning :)

It’s 2: 56 PM on day 648 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, work  feed myself Greek yogurt  for lunch and prepare and  publish my Disability of the Day feature.

Last night I received word that the well that I raised money to build was complete thank you to everyone who supported my vision to make a difference I will NEVER FORGET IT especially since for every one of you that agreed to help me there were fifty who told me to get lost. Are you willing to work hard to turn your dreams into reality?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.

    So, Nisha, besides your work, what’s next? I love to gear about your projects! I talk about you all the time with my friends and how you really aren’t disabled at all…or better yet, you don’t let anything get in your way. I know that you must have your bad days with struggles like the rest of us. None of us is immune.But you show how to live a life in spite of things designed to test your faith, patience, and determination. And what a life you live!
    Thanks for being you, Nisha!

    Nisha,

    Shame on those who told you to get lost. You are one determined young woman. You remind me a bit of my own disabled daughter. She is the hardest working person I
    have ever known. She is too stubborn to stop. What a great attitude to have.
    You remind the rest of us that obstacles can be overcome. If you want to.

        Whenever I feel like giving up, I look at her and I know I cannot. I mustn’t let her down. She is my example.

        You are, too. Roll on!
