An experience that caused me to change my perspective is growing up with a sister with disabilities. My sister was born with Aicardi syndrome, meaning she had about 3 seizures daily, could not walk, talk and got sick often. Growing up I became accustomed to appreciating everything such as being able to run around and play and being able to have a free will. I learned to appreciate my family and be responsible considering that at times my mom spent months with my sister at the hospital and I was in charge at home. My perspective changed forever.
