Why?

This year, I am participating in the Miss Bluffdale Scholarship Pageant. As a contestant, each one of us have been asked to create platform. It is both something we could comfortably talk about, as well as stand upon in the community.

The Platform I have chosen to represent this year is entitled "We're not all that Different!"-Understanding those with Disablities.

My hope in doing this platform is to raise awareness to the community, and general public that, though people may walk differently, or talk differently, or some of them don't even walk or talk at all, that they are not all that different from the rest of us.

In creating this blog, I hope to be able to share with you, the things I see, from my perspective, and hopefully help you understand, if you don't already, that We're not all that different!!!

I want to start off by first challenging you to something---and I will challenge you to do something new every time I post something.

TODAYS CHALLENGE: Think about someone you may not quite understand, someone who looks a little different, acts a little different...What can you do for them? How can you help yourself better understand what they want??? Go out, and DO IT!!!!

It is usually through another person that our needs are met...Remember, we are really not all that different!!!!
