About Me

I decided to investigate this issue because my aunt has been handicapped for the majority of her life due to a gymnastics accident when she was seventeen. I see firsthand what she has to deal with and she also shares with me bad experiences and injustices she has faced. After she became handicapped, she met and fell in love with her husband, who is also paralyzed. My aunt's mother, my grandmother, is unable to walk without a walker due to age. She is another person who is important to me with a disability. Because there are several people close to me with disabilities, I chose my topic with the vision of advocating for change to alleviate some of their struggles.
