Inspiration

As staff of the MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities, we are keenly aware of the powerful and inspirational stories all around us. Disabilities place people in a range of challenging and often heart-wrenching situations while innate human willingness and ability so often leads people to overcome the seemingly impossible odds. Following are accounts of the sort of experiences that keep us cognisant of the power of persistence, courage and a will to succeed.
