As one who had to battle back from full body polio (in 1946, long before the vaccine) I had to face discrimination in several ways. Besides my disability, I am female so was not considered college material by NY state. I never did get a college degree despite a total of 9 years spent working toward it, but was given the chance to learn a business (using my knowledge of classical music which I love)by a man who was willing/able to look past my crutches and brace. I was able to start my own business in another state after my children grew old enough.
I wish you success in your chosen career and I am certain that your experiences and your learning will carry you far. You show great desire to succeed and that is SO important.
