This community truly lacks awareness of the destructors that lie within its own borders. As I pointed out in a post earlier, I'm reaching out to my third county in the hopes that I can finally find a place that's willing to let me complete my hours so I can finish my degree and become a certified TVI. In this community however, you have to be someone of great recognition before people even give your notion one consideration. It doesn't matter though. If you're blind and lean anyway toward the left, your personal endeavors aren't important to the over all cause. I'm just trying to finish the requirements so I can continue to give back to a community that for many years felt misunderstood because our blindness wasn't a disability that's always visible. Still, I count myself fortunate because I was able to register for the practicum even though it's not being honored by the department that promised to accommodate me. The districts that pride themselves on diversity, equity and inclusion seem to only extend that grace to certain minority groups, and the rest of us have nothing else to do but to keep fighting just to survive. Where can we turn? Certainly, a community like this would normally be cohesive and supportive, but we're unorganized and judgmental, not giving a single consideration to some of those in our community who have other physical and/or cognitive needs. I've done a lot of reflecting and I feel I may not be able to linger in this community much longer if I intend to grow. Yet, those who supported the D E I premise will cave to pressure if it means they'll still get their feet massaged by Doge every night. Such a shame, but we keep going. Hugs.
