Written by our client
My disability does not dictate my life and is not something I dwell on. I love to read and get incredibly fixated on specific topics for a couple of weeks and to then go and completely forget them three months later. My latest fixation has been on North Korea random! If all goes well, I will start driving lessons within the next couple of years to further increase by independence.
Having grown up in a rural village I am looking forward to exploring the city of my university at the weekend with friends. However, I also enjoy quiet nights in watching Netflix so how I spend the weekends is likely to be varied as well.
