Post Trip

Post trip: after completing the trip, I plan on writing a book. It might be some time in the future when it is finished: the plan is to work and write on the side. The book will highlight different disabilities Americans face on a daily basis. In addition, I want to look at the coping mechanisms and support structures that may or may not exist for people with disabilities. By telling these stories, I hope to inspire a large number of people. The book's mission will be to share the message that disabilities pose problems, yet we should offer the abilities we do have. Rather than letting life pass us by because you, or others, think you cannot accomplish a task (or it might take too long), we should offer the world our best.

I also hope to capture the cultural diversity that occurs from the headwaters of the Mississippi (Lake Itasca, MN) to the Gulf (New Orleans, LA). I am looking to create a few survey questions that I will be asking along the way. So, if you have any sociological experience, please post your questions in the comments box after clicking on today's post.
