Hi, Just spreading the word about some of the amazing successes we are experiencing with the self-employment mentoring program known as morethanthelabel.com If you know of someone who might be interested in creating their own employment activities based on their talents, interests and fun, take a look at the website www.morethanthelabel.com Thanks to LACL for hosting this section.

Melodie's Story
posted by Melody Scout on FRIDAY, AUGUST 08, 2008   |     0   Comments
 
Melodies Story I am a 30 year old self advocate and I have a disability and would like to share my story with you all. I was recently in the paper a few years ago under the topic called “A Closer Look At The People Around You” and just let everyone know who I was and how life has been for me. The heading of the story was called” Helping Other’s Has Helped Melodie With Her Own Life”. Well here I go with my story. I was not born with my disability but was in a accident when I was really young and now my left side of my body was affected and it was a brain injury from what I was told later on. This article I was in talked about my dreams and how nothing can stop me from doing anything in life with my Physical Disability and I believe that’s true over the years growing up. Some have thought I wasn’t able to do anything in life but I have done so many things. I graduated from high school 1996 and went back to high school for another year. Then I went to college for half a semester from September 1997 till December 1997. I started working in January 1998 at a day program for a year and a half then went on a mission for the LDS church for a year. Then went back to the day program that I am at today and I am really proud of myself and those who do know me are proud of me for being at the day program I am at now. Since starting there in Jan.98 other than my mission it’s been about 10 years and I love being out in the community helping out where ever I can and I have volunteered as well. Where I am working now has changed throughout the years and I have made a lot of friends there. I have gone through many struggles throughout my life growing up but that still does not stop me from doing what I want to do in life today. I am a very happy person and have gotten many complements from everyone in the community and from those who do know me, about my Smile and its odd not seeing me with this smile. Many of my friends have a way of making me laugh and smile and it works if I am not laughing or smiling something is wrong and even if I am quiet and you will know something is wrong and many know how to get things out of me even if I hold back. I know not to hold things inside when something is bugging me. Story by Melodie Scout
