Mental health and disability

unassumingPeach6421 December 13th, 2023

I have disabilities and I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. This has been so hard, I have been so scared to try. I'm 22 and I haven't gotten far in life at all. I've wasted years trying to get into an architecture program. I still want to go for it, I guess I'm just nervous. I really want to do a better job and be kind to myself. I hope I can move forward positively. I'm going to make it and be okay. I hope everyone stays safe and keeps trying, you're worth it and you don't have to be perfect. What you have and who you are is beautiful!

Hello, let me share my story with you. As someone who's dad has a disability (paralyzed left arm) , I understand how you may feel. My dad has always said that it takes a while and a lot of patience to adapt to any situation. That day of his accident completely changed his life. Despite the struggle in the beginning, he grew stronger and had hope. So much that I forgot that he has limitations, that he can handle everything as he is. What I learned from my father is that disabilities are just differences, we are all human in the end. I believe that you should get into the architecture program and pursue your dreams. I believe that you will make it and I am glad that you believe it too!
