Samantha Meissner and Ohio College2Careers

Samantha grew up believing that she was different from everyone else. She was bullied at school. At age 17, she began receiving services from an Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities counselor. Today, Samantha is a thriving third-year student at Wright State University and secretary of 4 Paws for Ability WSU.

“It’s okay – it’s better to be different,” Meissner said. “Who wants a basic somebody?”
