On June 28 a mother had left her 19 year old daughter, who has a severe mental disability, at a bar in Tennessee. Lynn had no money, ID, or anything else that belonged to her. Police had talked to some customers that said that they saw her pushed into the bar. They also could not find any signs of physical abuse.

My school options
I have been thinking about what I wanted to take in school and 3D game design is one of my current options. During high school I had created 3D scenes and objects using Blender. This is a free open-source 3D creation program that allows you to design 3D objects and animate them. Over the three years that I have been using this program I have made more detailed scenes. A really important point is that I enjoy doing it. Here are some of my scenes:

Dealing with the jerks of today's society
One night I was walking home from a friend's house and I passed by a couple guys. As I walked by they seemed to look at me funny and laugh. Once behind me they started to make comments such as "herp derp". Which to me sound like they were making fun of me. The part that I found funny is that it didn't seem to bother me one bit. This is because I have dealt with people like this for pretty much my entire life.
I find that if the younger population sees something that they don't understand they begin to question it. The problem with this is that is their way of questioning. Especially, when it comes to other people. For example, I don't mind it when people ask about my disability, but I what I don't mind is when it is made into a joke.
During my younger years in school I had dealt with a lot of bullying. So that being said I have belt up somewhat of a tolerance to that. Small comments hat the confused people make no longer have an effect on me. In a strange way I find myself glad that I was bullied. It has helped me become more mature as an adult and gives me a shield against discrimination.
If I were to tell one thing to the younger generation of the disabled I would say that it gets better. People will eventually grow up. Once they do they will begin to open their eyes and realize the difficulty we endure.

Easy gaming
Video games have been a part of my life since I was about 10 years old. I enjoyed playing a lot of different types of games. The only problem was that my disability made it difficult to play. That being said, I never let it stop me from doing so.
There are games that I find a lot easier to play. Games for tablets are a good example. I find that these would be a lot less difficult for someone who has trouble with fine motor movement. A good example in my opinion would be Restaurant Story. This game is very easy to control and does not require a lot of physical effort.
Another example of games that are easier to play would be PC strategy games. These types also do not require a lot of physical effort. The user mostly just needs to drag and click the mouse. The keyboard is also used but the commands can be used effortlessly. Starcraft would be one of my favorite examples for this type.
For these games I'm using an Asus Transformer. This tablet uses Android for its operating system. It also has a 10.1 inch screen that comes in handy when gaming. If you do have a tablet I would suggest that you take a look at these games.
