Bigger than us.

This past semester I have learned more than I ever thought was possible.  It's been a while since I have taken the time to put my thoughts down onto paper, but looking back, promoting the concept of People First was a bigger task than I imagined.  I never knew how uninformed I was about the movement.  You always think about the movements for African American and homosexual rights, but I guess the movement for the rights of people with disabilities often goes unnoticed.  Now that I (maybe not fully) understand the magnitude of the project we are faced with this, I feel much more prepared and ready to start our volunteering hours at Harris Hillman and educating the greater Vanderbilt community about our project.  After beginning our project with all the worksheets, documentaries, and discussions with the ever helpful Dr. Da Fonte, I finally feel ready to really begin.  I'm excited to see what we can do with these next few months.
