Name:
Location: Orlando, Florida, United States

I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico with spina bifida. After living there for almost three years, my parents and I moved to Orlando, where I have lived ever since. I am a college student whose dream is to be a broadcast journalist, and I love to speak French. I am also fluent in Spanish.

Today I really started reflecting on what exactly it is I want to do to make a difference. I went ahead and opened a free account on www.disaboom.com, a FREE networking Web site for people with disabilities around the world.

I posted on one of their message boards, saying I want to begin an advocacy network. In less than 24 hours, I already had 11 responses! I could hardly believe that my gentle, humble words would have such a direct, immediate impact.

I even got a reply from a woman in Bosnia, which is amazing. It occurred to me that, even though I must start small, I can go ahead and establish connections with people around the globe, and let them be my support system, as I can do for them, and maybe someday help them change the legislation in their respective nations.

Even the tiniest of pebbles can make thousands of ripples in the water. ;-)

God bless.
