I enjoy when members pull together to lift others up, learning these days is a challenge and could be difficult and defeating.
I won't go into detail, but I've suffered brain related injuries. However, the "Mind" and "Body" is truly an amazing machine.
I was able to go to college at age twenty but, it only provided the basics in a "Technical College" so I adapted by learning formulas needed related to problems, not to learn Math in general.
Now, I work and attend classes at Univeristy. My hope is continuing my education which began at age 57 now 59, I'm 2 years in on a 4 year task.
Refusal to give up, even when those who stab at me with steal minds or sharp words. I'm not sure if their is "Hell" allotted to them, but to me those words of doubt or from their selfish amusement, strengthen my resolve. Regardless of how they wish to measure me.
I've taken some profetic words from a 101 year old women a professor I met, who bore 7 children all completing higher education, becoming doctors, lawyers, professors etc.
At age 26 I asked, what can I do to maintain my mind when I get older.
Her answer was: "never stop learning something new. Stay fit, stay busy" She also said, some not all people without disease retire and sit in front of a television and fail to stimulate their minds which can lead to early deterioration.
Mike, I have followed your health related issues and have seen your determination. I applaud your courage to speak out, especially those of us who need the encouragement.
