The reason why I wrote "The Reality Of My Life" is to explain to the world what I went through as a should and how impossible it seem during my growth and development for me to achieve my success educationally. I often wondered why I should go through all these pains as a child and why was I so despised by my mother who should be loving, protecting, and guiding me to the best of her ability. There were times that I felt all hope was going away from me but through the power of the Almighty God, I got the aspiration to change the negative aspect of my life into positivity. While going through the pressures of life, I had no to turn to. At nine years my older brother became my mentor and the principles he taught me never left me although it was for only one year. Today I can say to the world that I have a voice, and I hope anyone will be encouraged by my ability to fight and win.

This is the story of Michael Kennedy's life. Born in 1960 with significant disabilities, he describes his early experiences living in three different institutions for the mentally retarded and how he had to become his own advocate if he was going to survive. He soon realized that, unlike most of the others in institutions, he could make his voice heard. He had to speak up to help himself and other individuals with developmental disabilities to learn about their rights, and how to prevent themselves from becoming trapped forever within complicated state bureaucracies. After moving out of the last institution into various types of supported living settings, Michael describes how he found new friendships, went to school, got a "real" job, and began to aspire to having full control of his own life. "I want to let people know how the state system used to be and that institutions must never be reopened." This is a book about hard work, resilience, and hope. It is an extraordinary life story, but told by an ordinary man with a clear mission to help others like himself.
