Cynda Murrow has been working at Walgreens for four years.“I get to meet new people, and I like to say hi to all of my co-workers,” Murrow said.She’s a person just like anyone else, but we all have something that’s a part of our story. Murrow's story includes living with an intellectual and developmental disability.“Some people don’t understand me, so that’s why I use a device to help me," Murrow said. "But some of the people speak Spanish, so that’s hard for me to speak Spanish because I don’t know Spanish. I know a little bit of Spanish though.”Cynda says she loves her job. Just like any job, some days can be challenging. However, she always finds a way to make it work.“(I have a) device that I use to help me speak if I have trouble," Murrow said. "I do have this button right here that says ’I’m using a communication device to help me speak. Please be patient with me.’”Advocates who offer support for people with disabilities say employment is an important part of life. That’s why national organizations like The Arc work to break down those barriers.“Employment is more than just getting a paycheck. Employment develops independent, self-esteem, self-protection, and limits vulnerability in mistreatment, abuse and neglect,” Luke Wheeland with The Arc said.In the past 30 years, there’s been a lot of effort to get people with disabilities into the workforce. It all comes down to seeking out the right resources. Murrow’s mom says she’s been educating herself on what’s good for Murrow since the day she was born.“I found that information is power, so I just learned as much as I could,” Murrow'’s mom Wayla Murrow said.Another resource Murrow’s family uses, is the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.“Vocational Rehabilitation is the largest provider of job placement services for people with disabilities in the country,” Eric Clark with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation said.Clark says Vocational Rehabilitation programs exist in all 50 states and serves about a million people per year. Those who have a documented disability are able to partner with a rehabilitation counselor to develop an individual plan to find employment.“In that process they’ll talk about what kind of employment are they interested in, what type of employment have they done before, what skills did they develop from that employment," Clark said. "But also, even talking about general life activities. Do they volunteer? Do they do sports?”Clark says a good reference to use when applying for jobs is the 2526

Doctors say two of the victims wounded in a Southern California high school shooting are doing well after treatment and should be released in a day or two.Doctors at Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills told reporters Friday they treated a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl after Thursday's shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita.One of the girls was shot below the belly button and the other girl was shot in the abdomen."Once we we're done with the initial treatment, initial evaluation and both patients were felt to be stable, both were sitting up with their families and the room that were conversating with each other," said Dr. Boris Borazjani, a trauma and critical care specialist.Investigators worked to figure out why a boy known as a "regular kid" opened fire outside a Southern California high school on his 16th birthday, killing two students and wounding more before turning the gun on himself.Investigators so far offered no motive for Thursday's shooting at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita.The teenager was described as a quiet and smart kid who was a Boy Scout and had previously run track for his school.Gunfire began around 7:30 a.m. and authorities estimated that the suspect took just 16 seconds to pull out the weapon, shoot five classmates and then himself."We have a spiritual care team involved," Borazjani said. "We also have a clinical psychologist in the hospital who's going to be involved in the care of both patients with the permission of their families. Both families have asked very thoughtful questions about the right time to inform their daughters on what happened and what the outcome and the aftermath of the victims and the accident." 1743

Dogs are a man's best friend. But Sully the dog earned international fame for his loyalty last winter by standing by his former owner, President George H.W. Bush, until Bush's death last December.But now, Sully has a new friend.Rob Hunter served in the Navy for 25 years. Six months ago, he had part of his leg amputated after an accident aboard a ship in Japan. The recovery has been a challenge."I thought it was going to be easier. I was kind of surprised at how hard it is to figure out your balance," Hunter said.On some days, the mental anguish can be as bad as the physical pain. But Hunter has found relief in an unexpected way."The first day they came in here I was having a really bad morning. I was really close to crying, actually," he said. "And the dogs all jumped on my bed, started licking my face. I don't know what it is about a dog licking your face but snapped right out of it."The dogs are a part of the Walter Reed Bethesda Facility Dog Program, and Sully is perhaps its best known participant."Just walking down the hall we get stopped regularly to want to pet Sully, to have a picture with Sully, to meet Sully," Samantha Murdock, Sully's handler, said.But for Hunter, it's not Sully's fame that impresses him. It's how Sully and the other dogs can make such a difference."I was at a point where I was ready to commit suicide and I had a couple friend that were in the Navy and saw it," Hunter said. "They saved my life that night and these dogs do that on a weekly basis."It's a weekly pick-me-up that can make a lifelong difference. 1570
