the RNC
I came across another tv programme filmed in my old college the RNC today. It was filmed by Ian Hamilton a guy who was there the first time I went to the college in the early 1980s. The programme was looking at weather disabled people are better off in special ed than in mainstream education. In relation to special education I spent 4 years at the RNC which meant me leaving home and going 130 miles down the road, it was tough the first few weeks, but with help of friends and my parents I got over it in the end,
The main thing about the RNC for me, is the fact that life before or after my time in Hereford has never been quite as good, I am not sure why this is, is it because I could forget my disability there or the fact that I found love or the fact I was looked after there food etc or the fact that I did not have to look too far for friends there I had attention, there I was part of the hierarchy there which as based on level of eyesight myu eyesight was not as bad as most othere people there. It is very frustrating not being able to achieve the same 'happiness' outside the walls of the RNC, I have been back since a few times trying to recaputure the same feelings I guess, I felt safe there safe with my friends. The place made dreams come true for me really. I passed A levels, things that only people who were a lot better than me did. I have felt no good outside the walls of the RNC like I am not as good as everyone else.
There is part that recents having gone to this college and that I should have stayed 'outside' in the real world so to speak, maybe these places should not be so closed off from the outside world.
