showed people with disabilities accomplishing the impossible like Helen Keller, Pocahontas, and the extraordinary people. My mom felt that by watching these shows it would encourage me to keep learning and give me people that I can look up to.

In America, individuals who cope with a disability have had a long struggle for equality. In the 1800s many did not believe persons with disability were capable of living independently. According to the ASHE Higher Education Report (2013), society viewed persons with disability as incapable of thinking, learning, or achieving goals. Persons with disability were considered a disgrace and spent their entire lives in institutions or asylums for “purification”, because they were seen as unclean…

An Alameda County Transportation Comission’s meeting was held on Dec 8, 2015, and several of the city’s managers attended the meeting.
