I was having a conversation with someone today concerning the different perspectives about disability. She talked about having a completely different understanding before she got involved with the disability community. She was taught that she was a really good person, but her disability was bad. It surprised me hearing her talk about these things because I was taught exactly the same. I was told I had to pray because only God could fix me. I was told I could overcome my disability. I heard things like hes sick and the only disability in life is a bad attitude. And I believed every word. I am so thankful I am now part of a community where I am taught my disability is beautiful. I am taught to be proud because of my disability -- it is part of who I am. I have learned I could love myself completely, including my disability. I love my disability. I love who I am.
