This is an autobiography about an American with a disability, but still in the working class. As you read about parts of the author’s life story, you will see how he personally had to deal with nocturnal epilepsy not only as an illness during his childhood, but as a degrading image in the world of employment leading to discrimination, a hostile work environment and finally retaliation. However, this time would be different. Instead of turning his back and walking away embarrassed and or angry, he decided to do something about it by way of our American Judicial System showing that you do not have to be the United States President or the State Governor to get workers compensation laws or disability laws changed. Now he walks tall in silence, feeling proud of what he has accomplished by making that decision. And now shares his experiences with you, as an encouraging example of how he dealt with his medical problems as well as how his choice of dealing with employment problems succeeded in getting two laws in the Eighth Federal Court District changed after a five year dispute, in favor of those who are disabled and/or of the working class. The book ends with the author’s personal thoughts, theories, and opinions of some of the lessons he has learned and embraced during his first 38 years of life.
