I think you are right Gary.  I mean I am a teacher, and a pretty good one,
if I do say so myself...but growing up, my own mother did everything to get
me to change my mind about a career in education.  But, she also raised me
to be head strong and independent so I became a teacher anyway ;)  Many
people who don't know me well are surprised that I teach, but those who do
know me know I could do nothing else!  In fact, I don't think I could
survive a job where I sat all day...Nonetheless, I think that all people,
disabled or not, run into people who are skeptical about their career
choices and question their ability to "make it".  We tend to see it more
maybe, or perhaps take it more personally because we need to prove to
ourselves that we can do what we want to do with our lives and aren't going
to let CP stand in the way.
