The government needs to streamline the process to get Social Security Disability.

25. How can we build a harmonious campus and society with people with different or special needs and ability?
We are all different. We have never been the same, had the same ideas, or think the same and it was a place that allowed the differences. We can accept one another and allow those differences that make the world wonderful, we cannot have a climate of helping each other. It is allowing the differences, and not insisting all be the same.
It is time to think about getting along with others and improve our relationships and help each other encourage growth with all those we work with. Life is not about being better than others. It is about getting along with others.
