Dylan’s Words of Wisdom

“I want to send a message to the parents by telling them, to tell their kids, not to be afraid to show their abilities. Show the public, the world, what they can do. And most importantly, show the world how important they are. I want them to feel what I’m feeling. It’s time for them to shine, because they are the future generation.
My message is simple: It’s about abilities, not disabilities.

Thank you.”

Sandra the Future Journalist
Hello, my name is Sandra Murillo,  and I'm a junior at the University of Illinois  at Urbana-Champaign. I am majoring in journalism.  After I graduate I hope to work as an investigative
 journalist or as a features writer for newspapers or magazines. I am also thinking about possible  working on radio. Some of the subjects I'd like to  write about are issues or problems affecting people with disabilities and minority ethnic groups such as hispanics. I am interested in this topic because  of my background. My parents are both from Mexico,  so I grew up seeing the struggles hispanics often have in the U.S. I am also totally blind, so I  understand firsthand what it is like to have
 a disability. I also write a blog about my experiences of being a blind college student. Please check out Sandra the Future Journalist  at: http://www.sandramurillo.wordpress.com.
 Feel free to leave comments on my blog as well! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Travels in a blue chair
 by Walt Balenovich 

Funny things happen when you're backpacking alone around the world! Now imagine doing and seeing it all  from my blue wheelchair. My book of adventures on four wheels is an entertaining new twist on the iconic  North American backpacker. 

I had polio when I was 12 weeks old and spent the first  5 years of my life  in the hospital, after finally being released to enter kindergarten............
You can learn more about myself and the book at...

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book will go to support Rotary International's  program to vaccinate children against polio in the Third World.
