Kile's Corner
Hi guys this is Kile and I’m back with a new Kile’s Corner.
I hope all you, awesome people, had a fantastic 4th of July and watched some fireworks. Our office was closed for a week so that we can rest and charge our batteries, so we can work well for you.
At the end of June, we had picnic with Central Aroostook chapter and Northern Aroostook chapter in the Aroostook County area. We had a good turnout, there was a lot of people with lot of food and a good time.
There was another event that I went to in July, Disability Pride that DRM hosted in Augusta, Maine. People with disabilities came together to celebrate the civil rights movement, be proud to have a disability and share awareness that we still have a lot of work to do. It’s time to step up the whole month of July to celebrate that we can be free to stand up and make a difference in our lives. Celebrate and shout out that I have a disability and I am here, and I belong, and no one can put us down and our voice does matter.
Being a person that has a disability I still am normal. I do think differently, and I take time to think about things that I can. When I need help, I ask for help like other people. I work hard like other people. I am happy that July is Disability Pride because we share that month with Independence Day and celebrate that we can be free like all the people in the USA. The time to celebrate that we can be the same as other people. Going to the Disability Pride event made me feel like if you put your mind to it, you can get what you want, just stand, and speak out and get the chance to sit at the table.
