Jeanie moved into an apartment about 3 months after she graduated from High School. Her sister moved in with her to be her attendant. Jeanie was preparing to enroll and college and get started with her future.
Her first Apartment
When Jeanie entered collage her goal was to be a psychologist or social worker. She wanted an opportunity to help troubled people. She had so much fun learning about so many different things. Lots of handicapped students need note takers. She took the class, with them, and took notes for that person even though her hands are bent and twisted. She was able to do what she liked best help people, and she also got credit for the class. She learned about so many things, nursing, science, police science, law, astronomy, pharmaceutical, sign language, she took advantage of all they had to offer. She loved to read and learn.
