Minority Scholarship

 This post wont be as long as the others, but I just wanted to bring this one thing to attention. People of minority, we have scholarships! Now some may not understand why it is important, don't worry I will elaborate. So long story short scholarships are important if you plan on going to college. Its free money that people will give you, if you apply and win. Here's a link to a site that has at least 4 different types ( Scholarship site )

Workouts for the group!

 Ok so a question I get the most is, How do I maintain my physique even though I'm 'disabled'? Well for me it is kind of simple, but it takes dedication and time. I play 9 different sports  ; basketball, track, javelin, shotput, discus, air rifling, ping pong, archery, and marathon races. So for me I just stay busy with the sports, and they keep me fit. Due to  quarantine I am actually going to have to work out. I am putting together a little schedule along with a challenge. Although the challenge hasn't taken off I still have faith in in. I will keep you all posted on what I come up with.  Have a good day as we keep on rolling!

Achilles International

 Greetings! Have you heard of the Grecian warrior Achilles the  hero of the Trojan War? Well there is a group who I believe has his valor. They are named after Achilles himself, literally. This organization's goal is to "transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic program and social connection." They aren't far from constantly meeting their goal. There is always a zoom meeting, call, or skype that you can log on to if you aren't there able to physically be at one of their sites. As a member of this group also I can verify that they are an amazing group to be a part of. I gained confidence and a little muscle from running with them. If you want to check them out here is a link they have more info there. Site: https://www.achillesinternational.org/
