I was born in Miami Florida August 2, 1963. I had no problem until I was eight years old. This is when I lost my sight in my right eye. The cause a bleeding stroke. I suffered six bleeding stroke thus far. One in 72, 73, 74, 95, 1-00, and 7-00. Today I am paralyzed vertically 95 left arm and hand 75 left leg. I have 60 hearing loss left ear 50 hearing loss right ear. Mentally I am one strong guy. I have a BA in History and am aggressively seeking employ ment. If you can help great. Why we wish to be understood
Who am I speaking of you will ask
One should know we are a minority in the world population
We are labeled many different names
This stems from being mangled and having a vast variety of appearances
Yet we are human just as those who label us
We hunger to show are character
But the world wishes to close its’ eyes
The same goes for our humor, intellect, and all the positive traits that we hold within
Ourselves
Yet you still close your eyes
To the people we are
This is why we ask
Why do you not wish to broaden your horizons
To see who we truly are
Why can you not look beyond the spheres that appear to be obstacles to you
This is why we challenge you to understand
We have been challenged to challenge you
To understand who we are
To look beyond the spheres that appear to obstacles
This is why we wish to be understood
This is why we wish not to be label
For we are human beings just like you
