Having a “disability” doesn’t mean you can’t do things it just means you have to work harder to get things done– that’s what I keep learning.

It’s 3 : 23 PM on day 939 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast,  pray, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  practice typing with both hands, read Leviticus 19 and take off my dirty t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on.

A couple of days ago I read about Eli Reimer, a fifteen-year-old who became the first person with Down Syndrome to reach the base camp of Mount Everest, having a “disability” doesn’t mean you can’t do things it just means you have to work harder to get things done. Do you see a “disabled” person and automatically assume that they can’t do the same things that you can do?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
