New favorite city

Well the past few days have been eventful. As I said before I left we got up at 4 and 5 respectively for Mom and I to fly out at 8. When we got there the plane had hydraulic problems. As many of you know flying with me is nothing but an adventure so when we get to ATL (3 hours late) the same thing happens again! at least it was a quick fix this time so we goth into DC around 5:30. We came to the dorm and realized that my hoyer lift wouldn't fit under the bed so we had to get a new bed (typical). Once we figured all that out we spent the next day we toured the sights of our beautiful capital all day! The Vietnam Memorial was especially moving because whole units of vets were there in honor of their fallen comrades. It was quite the experience. Then this morning I got up and went to training, and started learning all about the fun things that are built into this wonderful program. So my final thought is "this is gonna be an amazing summer and I HAVE to get a job at the end of it so I can stay in this amazing city"

Ironic!

Hey Guys!
It has been a while!  I intended to keep this up as I went through college.  But... as you can tell I got pretty busy.  I used the title ironic because right before I started writing this mom read the title I used when I began my freshman year, Rolling Into a New World.  I cannot believe four years has gone by so fast, it does not seem possible that I will graduate in December. It is ironic because it is once again what I am about to do, roll into a new world!

It is the eve before I fly out to Washington DC to begin a summer internship there.  The internship is sponseored by The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD).  I will be doing my internship at the US Department of Education! 

Tonight I am nervous, and excited!  I doubt I will sleep much at all!  I am going to try to update this a few times a week.  I hope you will join me on this journey!

Anxious and excited!
Wheelchair Boy!  aka Zach!
