I just want to be a little more consistent. I've been relying a lot on instincts.
I keep it real with the kids. I tell them about what society offers and you can either take advantage of opportunities or not.
I let go of the notion of wanting someone to ignore the way I look in order to find me attractive, because really, what kind of relationship would that be? One where someone's only attracted to you because they're ignoring a fundamental part of you? No thanks.
I identify very proudly as a disabled woman. I identify with the crip community. I didn't invent the word 'crip'. It's a political ideology I came to in my late teens and early 20s.
I made a commitment to the school system and to my students. It gives me a chance to pass on to the students what's going on with Vince and gives them hope.
I'm a full-time wheelchair user. And yet, given the right circumstances, I am able to work.
I'm absolutely not interested in seeing it happen.
I'm 32 now. It's not like 26, 27 and have room for error.
I love it. We could go down there and make history.
I loved talking to Sam Hodges. He was always very interesting, and I felt like I learned something every time I talked to him. I thought he was a fascinating man - maybe tough to work for, but he knew his business. He was extremely intelligent and fun to talk to.
I never believed in much, but I believed in you
I'm usually the more cautious side ... Kevin's the dreamer.
I'm trying to not get caught up with results, but it's hard. I feel good. I'm telling myself it'll be there hope it comes soon.
I'm sure there were a few of those - people that jump on whichever team is the favorite team. They want to be associated with a winner even if they're not interested in sports themselves.
