Disabled

I see kids, teens and adults around me including myself that is disabled. People look at us with weird faces like if we look weird or act weird. We are people too, we have feelings too. We are not aliens from another planet. We are just humans with special features about us. I'm a girl who has cerebral palsey that has a hand that looks like I broke, that has a leg that has weakness and my whole left side has little movement and ability. There are much more people that has more severe disability that I do. There are people that have walkers, wheelchairs and more. I am a person who has to wear braces and a person who sometimes gets bullied in class. People with two hands don't understand that the normal everyday things that they do is stuff that they take advantage of. I have to find ways to do normal stuff like tying shoes or doing your hair or even putting on a belt. I find ways ways to do stuff like that and put it on youtube. (youtube user: Ally Swinington) Once every year I go to physicl therapy to strengthen my leg and arm. Some people who are in wheelchairs have a lot more PT because they have a more severe case of whatever they have. I challenge everyone who is reading this to try living with one hand from the minute you wake up to the minute you go to sleep for one day.
