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.
