for people like William

My name is William and I have been supported by a worker from Mary Centre for the past two years. We get together every Wednesday in the afternoon we go to the library where I work on the computer and go on the Internet and check my face book for messages from family and friends and check my e-mail for messages from family and friends. My family and friends are in the United States, Canada and Portugal and it makes me feel happy. After the library we go for coffee and mall walk and sometimes in nice weather go for a walk outside.

Some of the other things I do in my life are: On Monday, I go to University where I take Community on Campus. Community on Campus is a special program run by U of T Erindale Campus and Community Living. I participate in different activities such as in the morning, a volunteer and I go for coffee and talk and then I work on math, followed by time on the computer.

After lunch, I workout on exercise equipment, and also take classes such as "Introduction to philosophy" and "Introduction to Anthropology".

On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I go to the base site which is run by community living.

When I finish University my goal is to get a job.
