I refuse to be a VICTIM but a VICTOR

Greetings, Jhana’s supporters! This is your writer and disability advocate, Jhana. I’m hoping all is fine with everyone. I’m still working on making it a habit to write a new blog on Thursdays and Saturdays. I’ve written blogs from my previous blogs that I deleted and created a new one. I’ve made the decision to revamp my written blogs a little bit for this new blog. Anyway, let’s start the blog for today.

As you may have observed, the heading of my blog post is “I am a victor, not a victim.” Because of my condition, I have been treated like a victim my entire life. However, my condition merely makes me unique; it does not turn me into a victim.

I have chosen to be a victor this year rather than a victim. I have chosen to see my impairment as a blessing rather than a drawback. I’m going to view myself as a victor moving forward because I’ve overcome so many challenges that others didn’t think I could overcome. I’m not claiming that it was simple to realize that; a lot of counseling and advocating were necessary to reach that conclusion.

This concludes our blog post, and I’ll speak with you again soon.
