As someone who is disabled, whose income, at this time, is derived from a government program, I find the statements of certain posters to be not only extremely prejudicial but ignorant, uneducated, and blatantly offensive. Though I use a power wheelchair, I was accepted into a state university where I studied business. Although I did not finish, I gathered enough units to receive three associates degrees from a local community college and will probably finish my bachelors degree when my life and health allow. I have good credit and am relatively certain that my previous landlord would gladly give me a positive reference. In the over a year I lived there I always paid my rent promptly and without incident. I rely on government assistance because finding a job when wheelchair-bound is incredibly difficult, especially in my area. Even so, I desire to come off the assistance program as soon as possible. Just so were clear my GPA in college was well above a 3.0. I DID NOT SIMPLY BARELY SCRAPE BY!
