Society tells us that a quality of life is measured by accomplishments. Degrees, houses, friend circles and paychecks.
Independence and success equal a “happy life.”
When skills don’t match up with age, where do we go from there?
We never stop trying.
We meet them where they are at instead of where they are “supposed” to be.
We teach.
We laugh.
We grow.
We guide.
We advocate.
Everyone deserves dignity, acceptance and a voice that is heard.
Different isn’t a bad word.
Disability isn’t a bad word.
Kindness always wins.
As we enter in to a new school year, I’m going to make a conscious effort to remember these words.
