Maureen's strength is truly commendable. I really like the part where she says "you can be told that you can do x, y, and z but it isn't until some body else who has a disability that is similar to yours that you really ... aha - you have the aha moment and you realize that if they can do it you can do it." I would love to hear about other people's stories about their mentors or the mentors themselves who have inspired others with similar disabilities
