Despite the tremendous odds that he faces, Christopher Powell continues to persevere. Chris was born with cerebral palsy. He has limited use of his hands and has experienced frequent falls because of cerebral palsy. As a young child, he needed assistance from his family to accomplish minimal tasks. Dressing, feeding and bathing were some of the daily living activities that his family provided.
Through constant development, he realized that with the proper attitude and work ethic, many things could be accomplished.
Chris subsequently attended Towson State University for one semester, before transferring to the University of Maryland at College Park. In 1998, Chris received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics. On the day of graduation, Chris actually walked to receive his degree. Although it took 10 years for Chris to receive a degree, it was worth it. It was a dual accomplishment. Not only did Chris receive his degree, but he attained valuable life skills in the process. Constant drive and determination led Chris to fulfill his goal.
Chris is currently the Instructional Lab Coordinator Mathematics Learning Center in Montgomery College at its Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus. Chris uses his experiences to motivate and inspire students. He constantly encourages them to reach for the stars. Chris understands the struggles and trials that many of his students face. He reinforces their desires to achieve by his leadership and example.
Chris strives to set an example that through hard work and dedication, we all have the ability to reach our dreams and goals. His philosophy stems from the belief that as long as we have the determination to challenge our fears and limitations, there is nothing that can stand in our way. Chris believes it’s not how many times you fall, but the number of times you get up. We all have the ability to overcome obstacles! We all have the inner strength to overcome!
