My name is Jeremy Tyler Bard. I was born in Boston
I also have had many social problems. One of my father’s favorite stories is
one of when I was learning to ski. My family went skiing every weekend when I
was a child. Because of my disability my left leg was affected and I never
learned how to ski. When I was 7 years of age I told my father I wanted to ski.
So my parents enrolled me in ski school. Well I went to ski school every
weekend. I was a very determine young man. I would go up the rope tow and ski
and fall down every time. Well the ski instructor was getting tried of picking
me up every time I fell. Well they finally kicked me out of ski school (this
was before the Americans with disabilities act) Well my father wouldn't let me
down. So he took it upon himself for
me to learn to ski. I went up the rope tow and fell down the slope. Finally by
the end of the season I was ready for the big chair. I went up the chair and
feel a few times down the slope, but I did it. One day we went by the
instructor who kicked me out of the program. He had a class with him on the
upper slope. Well I skied by him and his face was in aw. I thank my dad very
much for that winter. Because that winter I learned that I could do anything I
wanted if I tried hard enough.
When I was 11 years of age we moved to New
Jersey. In help.
I did not want that time to worry if I had the homework for the class that day.
Well I had myself remove from the class. The High School said,
if I remove myself from the class I had to be declassified. To make a long
story short my family threatened to sue and they gave in. the accommodations I
needed were finally met, that what I thought.
I did not know what accommodations where till I went to college. I attended American International College in Springfield
At
I am now a Graduate Student working with Pro. Mary Hill. I work with a Boy
19 with a communication system. I also worked with a man age 39. Both of them
use a Switch input system. Meaning they control the computer with a tap of a
button. It helps then talk and turn on and off lights.
My Plan is to become a PhD in Special Education. One to show all those
teachers who said I couldn’t do it. Second so like the rest of my family I will
have a Doctorate
Overall I have had a good life and can't complain too much. Though
my mother thinks I am modest it’s just who and what I am.

Like anything in my life I know if I wait long enough I will find her. In the
mean time I can say that life has had many ups and downs. I have dated and
lived with woman who I can honestly say have changed my life for the better. I
do know when it is meant to be, it shall be. I know G-d will bless me with a
wonderful girl some day.
