Dont feel bad about needing accomodations to succeed

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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
