Handicapped College Student carries on~


Sometimes in life, when things get tough and you just want to quit, and stay in bed pulling the covers up over your head, you need to just put your head down, put your back to the wind, and carry on.  So it is when a very busy college student/military cadet hurts themselves to the point where it is almost impossible to walk, let alone continue to go to class...

Julie found  herself hobbling on crutches, and facing a huge campus full of obstacles, like stairs, heavy glass doors, and a 50 lb backpack and thousands of students mulling around getting in ones way at the most inconvienant times.
There in comes the need for an assistant, and therein comes my new found job, albeit, it probably wont be a forever job.  A week at the most?  Two?

Well, I was now facing the middle part of the week of my new assignment.  The assignment being to drive my daughter to and from her college every day, and just be generally at her beckon call, as it was almost impossible for her to get around.
I found my new job to be very exciting, as I got to pretend I was a college student again~!
One of the most memorable parts of the week was when I got to sit in on her TV production class.  It was a blast watching Julie 'host their college show, "Reel Watchers"  ( a spoof exercise in producing a TV show). 
Everyone was so nice to me, and let me take photos and watch the entire event.
Here is some of the pictures I took...
