Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down of those barriers that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I can‘t do and focus on what I can.I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms.There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion is misplaced.Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that’s around me. I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom. So I decided to become an advocate on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored.I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community.
