An Article of Me Learning Disabilities and Sports and finding coping skills of Thomas Q Kimball Ridgefield Connecticut

The above article was written by local news-paper on me and my sports and using sports as a postive way out of coping with having life long learning disabilites and hopes to help others out there is so much a person with learning disabilites and help out with local community or with other volunteer services back in the 1970's and 1980's there wasn't as much help and understanding as there is today.,I no longer bike race or do triathlons anymore is I simply can't afford a bike at this time.,



My wanting to help others came from my parents. 1960's My father 2nd Lt Second Lieutenant Commission.As a Signal Corps Officer as he was a student of Dr. (Ted) Theodore G. Birdsall at the old Cooley Electronics Laboratory at the University of Michigan. And my mother was studing at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. And they still strive to help others through their church.

I was unable to get into and colleges and or Universities due to entry exams. So today I try and do as many free online courses I can to do better and volunteer and be able to maybe help others in the community., Most of what I have done can be seen by seeing the below.,Most but not all of the free online courses offers A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) I have been takening these courses becuase of my volunteer areas and becuase of personal intrest.
