213 Words1 Page

love this book.The book make me feel warm inside. This book showed me that there is more in a person than you think. I us to look at people that were in wheelchairs and were different and thought that they don’t know anything that there just a loser but they're not. They could be the world's sweetest person they are smart they just have a hard time showing it. I had a hard time as a baby. I was in the hospital a lot as a baby because I was born early, and I had a lot of meticais problems. My mom was in the hospital mostly every week because I stop breathing or I stopped eating food. I know how hard it is it be in the hospital and it is like they don’t understand you. It makes me mad when they think you are stupid and you don't understand

  • Children With Disabilities In Tom Parker's The Acorn People

    Reading “The Acorn People” for the third time, I really enjoyed this story and also understood it more. This story showed everyone that just because you have a disability doesn’t mean your life stops. They might have to work ten times harder but they can still do it. My favorite part of this book was when Mrs. Nelson took down the labels because it showed that she believes that they shouldn’t feel like they are labelled. This story makes me have mixed emotions. I feel extremely happy for them and all they have accomplished but then sad because it’s not fair to them that they have to live like

    The experience changed her life, she learned to rethink her own attitude and self determination. I learned that people with mental retardation are not to be separated from society or even treated with less respect because of their disability. “Riding the Bus with My Sister” taught me to never neglect people with mental disabilities.

  • Book Review Of Deaf Like Me

    769 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was painful to see how hard the parents worked to get Lynn to be normal like the rest of the family. They spent so much of their time focusing on getting her to talk and read lips that they overlooked one huge factor: that no matter how hard they tried, Lynn was deaf. It was so frustrating to see how much resistance they had towards using sign language. It was sad to see how disappointed the parents were when they learned of Lynn’s deafness even though it was easy to see they loved their child very much. I feel as though this book was a great look into how the world wants to fix, and repair people with disabilities and how strong and proud the deaf community is that they would rather consider themselves to be special and of their own culture than to be considered less abled than a hearing person. I like that the story started off with the parents frantically trying to fix Lynn, and ultimately led to their love, acceptance, and celebration of their daughter’s deafness. In the beginning of the book Thomas and Louise are told not to treat Lynn like she is deaf because then she will act

  • Challenges In My Body Politic, By Simi Linton

    984 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being left out is never a pleasant experience for anyone, especially when society is shaped to exclude people who do not fit the standards of being “normal.” A sense of belonging is a fundamental human need. Human contract is essential for surviving; therefore, being left out hurts on a physical and psychological level, often times resulting in severe depression and anxiety. One part in the book that stood out to me was when the taxi driver refused to take her to her hotel by saying “this is not an ambulance.” These kinds of situations are hurtful and result in a sense of loneliness; however, Simi does a good job by moving forward. She becomes accepting of her disability by forcing herself to realize that she does have an important role in the world regardless of her impairment. As a society we need to correct our negative views on disability so that we can progress and focus our behavior on improving society’s overall atmosphere to avoid having unfavorable interactions between

    When Growing up as a kid, adults had always told me, “ enjoy your childhood as it lasts”. Of course at those moments I really just shrugged off their suggestions and started living life while thinking about the future and the things I would accomplish. Just this recent summer It’s safe to say that it has been the most engrossed summer vacation I have ever experienced, yet I have learned quite a bit. This summer I have been involved with the school play, working, and traveling . As the days passed, I soon had a epiphany that I was moving a bit closer to adulthood. It seemed as if I barely had anytime to hang out with my friends, as they had jobs of their own . Even If my group of friends had little time to get together, I still learned a

    A new year had just arrived. I can still picture January in my mind, the mood was sullen and dark, I could feel the cold reaching my bones, but now I know that was the best feeling I‘d ever had. I had only a few weeks left to start college, which had been my dream since I can remember. My dad had already paid for my tuition, I was so exited I had promised to do my best. Then, I realized there was an obstacle in my way. I knew I needed to make a decision on whether or not keeping my pregnancy, it sounds rough, but it was definitive. I did not want to miss school, so I was definitely not taking this to the last term. I just could not think of myself being prostrated in bed for so long, as an impediment to start school. Never, nothing would make me give up on my dreams, and that was another promise I had made to myself.

    Recently, due to a false accusation of my parents, my brother’s acceptance and enrollment in a university sponsored summer program was compromised. This caused a great deal of stress for my parents, who did not know how to properly and safely defend themselves from the accuser who was intimidating them with threats, and for my brother, who was spared the details but was ridden with sheer confusion at why his hard-earned acceptance was suddenly revoked. I also initially felt distressed and helpless, as this was a complicated and precarious situation that neither I nor my parents have had experience dealing with. With my cacophony of emotions and thoughts, I reached out to trusted friends who effectively calmed me and set me on a track of rationality

  • Personal Narrative: My Growth As A Person

    While thinking about what helped me grow as a person, I decided to go with something that literally helped me grow as a person. Being scared of needles my entire life, I was immediately traumatized by the introduction of Human Growth Hormones into my life. Learning that I would need to take hormones to become ‘normal’ and like everyone else was not an easy decision. Until then I hadn’t realized just how much short stature had affected me, my confidence, my motivation, and my drive. It was a big decision to overcome the ease of the status quo. Starting off at 4’11’’ and finishing at 5’4’’ my height and my life was very much affected. Despite my fear of needles and blood, I agreed to subject myself to horrible injections every day. And I am so glad I did because if I hadn’t I might have never overcome my fears.

    Growing up I was a very naive and straightforward kid who believe that the world is a wonderful place filled with opportunities. I was a dreamer living in my own little, ideal fantasy. Of course, life is not a straight line that will carry you from point A to point B. It is a road filled with curves, hills, and holes that sucks you into a never ending cycle of disappointment. Elementary school was where my dream crashed and burned. I expected friends and fun, but all I got was rejections and discrimination.

We are complete opposites and I find it astounding how we are even related sometimes, but I wouldn’t change anything. She was born only 2 months and 7 days after me, so we are really close in age. She’s the kind of person who has always been there for me when I needed it and she wasn’t just family, she was also my best friend. She is encouraging, caring, and inspiring. She has definitely helped shape me into the person that I am today.

    Babyhood is the time from when you are born till you 're 18 months old. Like everybody else, I don 't remember anything at all from this time. Whatever I do know is from my parents, siblings and other family members. My mother told me I wanted to appear into this world earlier than I should have. If not for the medications that let me arrive at the proper time, I may not have been here today writing this very sentence. I was born on 19th December, 1999 in Gujarat, India. My parents tell me I was a very quite baby and never troubled them much at all. I would never start crying in the middle of the night, arousing the entire neighborhood. My older brother would often look at me, and state how huge my eyes looked. As a baby, I was very fair, and often was referred to a white egg. Everyone loved to play and touch my cheeks when I was a baby.
