Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids they have perfectly good legs. Why cant they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.“Im just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is youve got legs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchair are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.24.
