Barriers in my life

When I was a teenager, I thought it is fine in the future, I was so excited. When I was 18 I want to go to University but many different Universities would not let me go because they said need qualifications and I was not good enough English. 

Last year I want to go to University in Bedfordshire but they said 'sorry, will close course Disability Studies'. I think people don't care about disabled people want to go to Universities because worry about money but they don't care choice, rights.

I live in Halifax with my family for 16 years I feel like stuck but I remember I had communities in Halifax it was great but for five years I don't like Halifax because so boring and nothing to do. I went to London many times I love it so much because lots of opportunities for disability everything and I know people, that why I was thinking to move in London but many people said important with family near house make me frustrated. I said I don't know where they are living but my sister and brother go! 

Sometimes I don't want to move because I will be waiting for money and I am so scared about all the funding cuts. I am independent and I would love to travel in the world like my Mum went to travel for 11 years. I want to travel in Australia but because funding not sure I can. 

I feel so angry with people think about money all and want to cut funding for disabled people. I want all disabled people have dream in the future and important choice, rights. I think why I have many barrier life but I am so proud who I am. Sometimes I felt shit and really bored fed up day, I need positive mind!

I am wondering if you interested to help me, how is changing improve for disability campaign about barrier life and choice, rights. Email me! My email is nadia_rocks@hotmail.co.uk or on facebook Nadia Clarke or on twitter @nadsyclarke
