FLCC College Student, Laura Day was a guest speaker in our room to talk about her life experiences dealing with Spinal Bifida and using a wheelchair. Laura graduated from high school and was undecided on what to do with the rest of her life so she decided to try college. Laura will graduate this December from FLCC with a degree in Communications. Laura also spoke about her accomplishments of getting her driving license and her first car.The most amazing thing we learned about Laura is she participates in wheel chair sports. Laura is on a track and field team out of Rochester called the Rochester Rookies. She competes in National and Regional events throughout the summer and is a Nationals record holder in Discus and the Javelin. The best advice she said she could give us was to, “Never be afraid to ask for help”.
