Day 1 of my journey

Day 1 of my journey begins. My name is Morgan, and I want to make a difference. My story starts with a small school project for my brother. My brother is my hero, he changes the lives of everyone he meets. I hope my journey makes a difference in many lives. Here is my story. One day my brother decided to work on a project for his school. He was going to research ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) for his project. He went to his school library and asked for a book on ADA, the librarian told him that there was only one book on this subject in the entire school district. Lucky for him, I attended that one school at the time. He asked me if I would check it out for him. I was shocked that there was only one book on ADA in the entire district. I willingly picked up the book for him the next day. As I checked out the book, I realized that the book was very stiff. It felt and looked like a brand new book. I opened it up and realized that this book had never been checked out. Now I understood that this one book started my entire journey. Awareness on ADA was next to nothing. Nobody knew what it was or how it effected them. My job was to change this, to make a difference in my community. I couldn't let this topic get brushed away by reality. I will do all I possibly can to start this journey, and change as many lives as I can in the process.
