Thankful and still hard at work:

I've been given a small extension on my college course work via Lincoln College which is extremely helpful, I just wish I didn't feel like I have to fight for such help and wish people acknowledged that disabilities impact people differently.

I think the course handler thought I was upset at their response time but it wasn't that, it was the fact I've communicated very clearly my needs and it was pre -agreed prior to doing the course.

This course is very important to me because it will help me to advocate better and be an asset to others.

I just want to evolve and improve myself and continue to action positive change and life has been exceptionally difficult for me as of late and I'm continuing through tears and even swears if need be but I won't quit!

I could just use some energy to focus on what I need to do instead of chasing things and fighting for things.

I am fighting for money owed at the moment and I've worked hard and earned that money so dealing with wage theft on top is not helpful.

I'm glad and grateful they've extended the course a little for me but more information should be given upfront to prevent such issues.

I really despise it when I'm made to feel like my disability is my fault, I never asked for this and I have to deal with it so it's not my fault when others are inconvenienced by it because trust me, I'm inconvenienced by it every day and I can only hope for surgery so I can gain mobility independence back!

Plus, I'd be put in less situations where people are negative because of the issues my disability causes.

I do genuinely want a peaceful and easy life but at the same time I can't change how my body is and I can't change the fact I'm passionate about making the world better and fighting for the underdog or the vulnerable. More of us should.

We were given a voice, we should use it to educate and improve the system to help it become more inclusive.

I legit felt like quitting this course lately and I'm frustrated and saddened and just want the space to get an education I'm capable of if allowed the time to work around my conditions.

I just wish people understood more.

Sarah.
