Why do I want to be an advocate for people with disabilities

 

  I have seen and heard so much misjudgment from the media to people who make fun of people with disabilities, Hollywood, and It is just wrong how people treat people with disabilities differently. People with disabilities in history have been put though so much worse and you do not know the half of it. Adolf Hitler pointed fingers at anyone that was different when I mean anyone, that also includes people with disabilities. Though out history people with disabilities were known to be weak, dumb, outsider’s, put into boxes and even casted out of their family’s as well. Even textbooks were wrong about me. That’s why I  want to be an advocate so I can teach people another way to see us who we really are. I am in an short documentary that I did with my program called TALL Thomas Adventures in lifelong learning and they partnered up with Cincinnati Ensemble theatre and it is called See My Ability Not My Disability. 

 

back in school

when I was in school everyone used to make fun of me and also tease me as well. Just because all they saw was my disability they didn't see the real me but that didn't stop me to make friends. Now that I have many friends all I want is to tell the people that made me cry in school. "Look at me now I have friends no matter what you think because I don't have to be friends with the people that made me wanna cry".  I think that's a real problem that's been happening everyday in the school hallways for the past few years. So what do you think I really like to know you opinions about this blog, thank you for reading blogs and don't forget to check out the rest of my blogs and they are called Starfire U and thoughts of a diva.
