Re: Re: Future: Fear?

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

I know where you are coming from I was young when I was diagonsed with cmt. I

was picked on by very cruel kids in school and at times even wished I weren't

alive.The best advice I can give you and I have done this look into a

proffession which your interested in but keep in mind the side effects of cmt

legs feet arms hands,ect a good profession that i chose to go to school for is

drug and alcohol counslor or maybe some other type of work similar to that, your

not no you feet alot you can tape session so not much writting and computer now

have software so you just speak into it and dont have to type if you hands are

bothering you. My first love was nurseing but I never finished was much to

difficult my finger have very little feeling so I couldntt even feel a pluse.

Just look at all of your opptions keeping in mind cmt and remember you can do

anything you put your mind to!

Take Care everything has a way of working out!things will be fine

Hi :

It's ok....all of us are scared sometimes about our futures. When

I was you age (I'm 46 now) I was worried about the next set of stairs

I had to climb at school, getting on and off the bus, walking down a

long hall, etc. You know, I don't think I thought too much about my

future, except that I didn't want to cope with those difficulties in

college, so I didn't go. I started working right away in an office

and things turned out okay. But I'm a firm believer now that higher

education is best, especially for disabled, and accessbility is

better now.

Are you talking with a counselor at school and sharing your

concerns? I'm sorry, I haven't been reading all posts so I may not

know all that has gone on.
