Q & A

What is one barrier you have overcome? How did you do it and what did you learn?

I cannot read, write and do maths very well. understanding whtat I read is difficult for me. I just need more time to accomplish certain things. But when I really want something, I am very persisting. I passed the silver ecam at horseback riding, for example. I am also allowed to drive cars and tractors up to 45kph. My next goal is to pass the exam for riding horses with carts. It is because of my handicap that i aquired my perseverance!
