The topic that I wanted to write about this week is one that is so awesome and it is the story of how I landed this job. I am so amazed and undeservingly blessed. God is good! I believe that every person on this Earth is called to do something wonderful for God; every person who believes in Him and has trusted in Him for salvation at a point in their life is called in some way to spread His word. I've learned that in order to fulfill that purpose in life, one must first go through some things; I sure have, but looking at my life as a whole, I can see that God has never left my side, instead He has been working behind the scenes the whole time. I have found that one cannot successfully run from God's calling for their life; there have been several indicators of my future that I failed to see at the time, but it is awesome how He uses the most little of circumstances to prepare one for the future He sees:  Indicator #1 :  My Experience with WV Rehabilitation Services : I ha...

A simple question that I was asked to write about this week is one that really intrigued me, and that question was "What do you think of me?",  and it prompted me to interview several people I have come into contact with in various parts of my life; I felt that these individuals no longer "see" my disability, but instead they see me for the person I am on the inside.  Today, I am known to be very smart, kind, dedicated, strong willed and courageous.

I grew up as a shy and quiet little girl who slowly learned that she was smart and could learn anything despite her disability; being smart was the one thing that got me through being picked on by my peers, and it was also the very thing that gave me my first bit of confidence. I was great at school. However, I have gained so much more of it by experiences and slowly adapting to life as it is. I've come to realize my strength and talent as a writer. I have also surv...

Get Up and Live! September 15, 2015 | Molly Spence Four years ago, I transferred to Kanawha Valley Community & Technical College (now Bridge Valley) from West Virginia State University and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Bridge Valley provided support that I really needed, and deciding to go there helped me achieve the "college graduate" dream while excelling academically and enjoying myself because of the smaller classes and personable professors; I felt unmotivated at State and to be honest, most of the professors at a university don't care about what a person might be going through in their personal life. I am so grateful to have experienced the love and emotional support of my teachers, friends and student services workers while at Bridge Valley. I am amazed at how much everyone there truly cares about the students, their lives, and what's happening with them; it's not jus...
