Believing<br />
…in one’s own abilities unlocks the breakthroughs—big<br />
and small, that occur daily at every CARC program site.<br />
Success—however it is defined, is rooted in a steadfast drive and high degree <strong>of</strong> belief in one’s own<br />
abilities. While realizing goals requires perseverance and diligence, it helps immeasurably when others<br />
share the belief that you will succeed. At CARC, we have witnessed too many accomplishments—<br />
many <strong>of</strong> which at some point deemed “impossible” by medical and pr<strong>of</strong>essional “experts,” to not<br />
believe in the vast promise <strong>of</strong> every child and adult we support.<br />
For some people, “believing” translates into a job or living more independently. For others, it could<br />
entail achieving a goal that may appear more modest, but is in no way less significant.<br />
CARC programs afford individuals with the freedom to pursue self-identified directives as well as<br />
the security <strong>of</strong> direct support—and encouragement when a helping hand is needed.<br />
In all instances, at the core <strong>of</strong> every success is a belief in one’s own abilities. It is the key that unlocks<br />
the breakthroughs, big and small, that occur daily at every CARC program site.<br />
