Today, I met with the New Hampshire Vocational Rehab, VR for short. Ultimately, their goal will be to help me find a job when I am finished with college and my degree, but on a more short term basis they are able to offer support, assistance finding tutoring, accommodations, and help me to realize some networking potentials that I have within my reaches.
The meeting was really positive. From the get go, the counselor actually remembered me from a high school I attended for a brief semester almost four years ago. Here in North Country, NH, it really is a small world, where everybody knows just about everybody. I am hopeful I will be accepted to the VR program as what they call a 'customer' and be able to have a little bit more assistance with my education.
I'll be honest on here, the assistance I need in education, adaptations and in life comes in two forms mainly, support mentally/ emotionally, and support financially. Let's face it, college is expensive, but so is every single piece of adaptive equipment I need to be able to live on a day to day basis, as well as be an active athlete. I've typically got the first part handled, but financially life is challenging.
Here's to hoping VR approves me as a customer!
