"May 30, 2019" 

Prompt: "June is upon us. What are your plans for the month of June? Goals? Trips?"

My goal for June is to go to work. I am planning to take my national peer support specialist/state peer recovery coach tests this fall if I can get in 500 hours of on the job training this summer. There is a place that was going to provide the training but they are dragging their feet because I have no drivers license. (I am physically unable to drive having been diagnosed with narcolepsy.) So I am in a fix at the moment as to how to handle this situation. In all actuality the placement is violating the law by refusing to let me work because the Americans with Disabilities Act forbids discrimination on the basis of disability. If I did not have narcolepsy I would have my license so I could make a case out of it but I won't. I'll simply find another placement.
