My name is Ryan and I live in Aiken SC. I received my MIRA dog in 2011 when I was 14 years old. Kappa has changed my life in many ways. I have always been active; I enjoy sports, being outdoors, hanging out with friends and my independence is very important to me. With Kappa, I can do all of these things. I run track with Kappa, and I run cross country for my high school team. I will begin college in September 2015 with Kappa by my side.
This summer, Kappa and I flew by ourselves to Baltimore, MD to attend a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics camp at Towson University. It was an awesome experience. Kappa helped me ALOT through the airport and around campus. I am glad that Kappa was with me; he gave me and my parents the confidence that everything would be fine. More importantly, I feel like I am ready for independent travel and even college!
I can’t imagine my life without Kappa and I am looking forward to the adventures that are in store for us!
