Every person has the right to be thankful for many things in life. As life goes on you see so many people that struggle to do the simplest things. They may even be missing something that gives you inspiration or, might even give you a reason to keep on pushing. As a student at John Dewey High school I have seen students with a physical disability and, it makes me have sympathy for them. Most of which can’t use the stairs to get to class because, they use a wheelchair due to their injured knee. It seems very awkward to see people walking with crutches have more reliabity to do things with their physique. Well as a senior at John Dewey High school I came up with an invention for students to get around school without using the elevator on a daily …show more content…
Such activities like brushing their teeth, washing and, doing household chores suddenly become a huge effort for them. Speaking of this, they may require another person's help to carry out these activities. Under those circumstances if anyone would use my convertible wheelchair they wouldn’t be impacted upon their home environment. For example if my convertible wheelchair was being used then they wouldn’t need homes that have; ramps, low kitchen units, wide doorways and, a stair lift. In conclusion finding a creative yet innovative idea of a convertible wheelchair has been a pattern in my life.Because,I remember one of my friends from John Dewey High school named Selena who couldn’t get up the stairs because, she had to use a wheelchair.And,she had to spend the whole year getting to her classes late. Including waking up and, getting herself to school but, would always arrive to school late. All because, she had a physical disability from her leg being fractured falling off a stair case in her home.And, now this will continue to affect her school performance due to the fact that she had to use a wheelchair all around school. As a result I invented a convertible wheelchair for students like her just by using my paint

    On my one and only vacation last summer, I got the privilege on going to my first Younglife camp. The camp name was Carolina Point in Brevard, North Carolina. At the camp they had many activities: swimming, go-carting, disc golf, mountain biking, zip-lining, paddling boarding, and hiking. My favorite part about this trip was the day we took a whole camp trip to hike the nearby mountain. At the camp they had some kids with disabilities that couldn’t necessarily get up the mountain by themselves.…

    I realized that they are not people who deal with a burden, rather that they are powerful human beings who face an everyday struggle, yet continue to persevere. Being disabled does not mean poor quality of life. Being disabled does not mean incapable. I was astounded by some of the various remarks made by strangers to Harriet McBryde Johnson because of her congenital disease. Although these statements may have been said with good intention, it is obvious that they come across as demeaning and ignorant.…

    Deshpande writes, “But for many students and faculty at UT, including me, maneuvering the UT campus in a wheelchair is a daily experience of stress and frustration” (Deshpande 295). This image evokes how difficult and emotionally the author and many wheelchair-bound faculty and students face daily at campus, effectively how important her argument is. Her intention is for people to be sympathetic for all disabled college members. To do this, she adds words and phrases such as; “suffer”, “discriminatory hardship”, “unequal opportunity to succeed”, and “lack of independence” (Deshpande 295). These negative words evoke the hardships disable people go through while attending or working at a college.…

    Upon interaction with someone with disabilities I already have this preconceived notion of how I expect them to be like because of the limited information based on what I have seen on the TV. This causes me to have an inadvertent bias towards disabled people because I have been brainwashed by the media’s depiction of the disabled. For instance I once met a disabled girl at my summer camp, and I was instantaneously at a loss of words on what to say to her. My constant feelings of sympathy towards the disabled are caused, because I feel like a disability is something that is a hindrance to one’s daily life. In this case I am viewing people with disabilities as abnormal because I would not have had any problem communicating with her if she did not have a disability.…

These are people who want to make a friend with someone who has an intellectual disability and want to contribute to the community, promoting a sense of belonging. Throughout high school, I became a part of the Best Buddies group and I am happy I did! Although the school had thorough accessibility for its students, it was interesting to me to see how inclusion was assimilated in outside businesses. The opportunity came to go on a recreational field trip to the movie theatre.…

    Over time, disability has manifest itself into a social and legal aspect of our everyday lives. Disability is in fact, a formulation of “poor impairments” by our society, determining it as a social construct. The invention of disability has occurred over time as society and the law have managed to highlight the impairment of an individual more than the person. Author and professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington, Sarah Rose in her new book, “No Right to be Idle, The Invention of Disability, 1840s-1930s” embodies disability as a social construct. Through her research on disability policy, Rose takes the reader through several main points to argue for this invention through the rise of domestic work, industrialization, and…
