I don’t know where I would be in my life if I didn’t have a strong, determined, positive attitude. I recall going to Easter Seal Camps in Squamish, BC when I was younger and chatting with other people who had limited mobility. Some felt sorry for themselves and didn’t focus on their abilities. I always tried to demonstrate to people the things that I could do rather than focus on what I couldn’t do.
