My name is V. I’m a joy to be around & I love to have fun wherever I go. I’m quiet when I around new people, but once I’m comfortable, I’ll open up fully. Don’t take my quietness as me being shy; I’m just observing my surroundings so that I can truly assess the situation I’m in & what action(s) I need to take. I want everyone to know that I haven’t let being a person with a “different ability” (or way) of getting around keep me from living life to the fullest. I use the term “different ability” because I do have a different way of getting around, but that doesn’t stop me from doing what I want to do or get to where I need to go. I feel that the term “disability” does not accurately describe me or my way of life. I am very proud of how I am & if you have the pleasure of knowing me, you’ll see that too. I love to be around people who have good energy, goal-oriented & driven in what they want to do with their lives, truly open-minded, real about who & what they are, & are true individuals. I DO NOT have time for dramatic people, those who are pessimistic, & those who have no idea of who they are or what they want out of life. Over the past 6 months, I’ve rid myself of people who were hindering me & were parasitic in nature & I do not plan on becoming a host ever again. I’m a very positive person & l like for those who I allow into my life to have that same kind of mindset. Key things to remember about me: • Sweet, helpful, & generous. Just know that I am NOT a pushover by any means nor will I allow anyone to take advantage of my good nature. • Determined, focused, & goal-oriented. • Love to laugh & have fun. • Free & gentle spirit. • Very strong & independent. • VERY open-minded & nonjudgmental. • Love to learn; one of the reasons why I feel that I did so well in school. • A very good listener & gives great advice (when asked for it.) • Love to try new things. • I try to surround myself with people who are similar as well as different from me. I welcome & embrace diversity. • Just know that what I lack in height, I make up in everything else. I am a powerful person that cannot be held down by anything or anyone.
