In a world where everyone is normal there are those of us that are disabled or in even handicapped in some people eyes. This world looks down on those of us who are different and judges us with a harshness that is undeserved.

I sometimes feel that my life is under a microscope of the quote unquote normal people in this world. Are those of us who are disabled not human too? Do we not deserve the same rights as everyone else? I was in special education and it didn’t teach me what I needed to learn instead I was using old books from the 40’s to the 70’s. in spite of this handicap of learning, I was able to graduate high school with a 3.7 GPA., and attend junior college. I met a wonderful man, we have been happily married nineteen years and have two wonderful sons. This world may have given me lemons, but I have made lemonade, and it is quite tasty!
