Everyone wants to do well in life, everyone wants that successful career, everyone wants that house and family, everyone wants to travel, everyone just wants their dreams to become reality.
While achieving those goals may be easy for some people it is not easy for everyone especially those who have disabilities, there may be barriers that keep them from those goals, like a building not having wheelchair ramps, or having door push buttons for those in wheelchairs, not having text accessible in braille, not having easy access to an interpreter, and not so sensory friendly environments for those who may have Autism or sensory processing disorder.
There is also those who may need extra help with their schoolwork and tests, and there may be those kids that think that they are cheating because they are getting extra help and extra time on their tests and they don't get that help, there is also those that may be jealous that they get to leave class early because of someone being in a wheelchair or having a physical disability.
Those people are the ones that may make people like us feel bad about having accommodations, because we sometimes may feel like we are taking the easy way out, I used to feel embarrassed about needing them because there were people that would stare at me whenever I had to leave the classroom in order to take a test, I was often worried about being made fun of because of having them I used to feel ashamed because I thought that I was stupid, but now I feel that they have actually helped me out.
No one should ever feel bad about needing extra help, and to all of the naysayers out there would you rather they fail and end up with having low paying jobs or no job at all?
We should all be taking whatever help that we can get, disabled people deserve to have successful lives, who says that we have to let having a disability get in the way of our dreams, but sometimes we do need a little assistance getting there, and there is no shame in getting that assistance.
There are many people with disabilities that turned out to be very successful, they just needed a little help getting to where they wanted to be.
Just keep on living your life even if you need a little extra help point is that you are still living.
