Mihaela: When Dreams Come True

~ ~ ~ ~ There is an attitude - I would say that some people are not yet ready to accept those who are different. Even though we are different we all have equal rights. I also found it was difficult for me to be accepted by other people. However, eventually, with a lot of effort, I managed to prove that I am just like other people. I am now employed by Lumos as a self-advocate. A self-advocate means I fight for the rights of children with intellectual difficulties living in families or institutions. Not only here in Bulgaria, but across Europe. We are like stones thrown in a river, some smaller, some larger, but each one making a difference, until the river becomes a torrent. That's why it is important that we are different, and there are many of us on our bridge of partnership. ~ ~ ~ ~
