Woohoo, I can't wait!

Yes, people that are disabled have a harder time, which is a shame. There are some people that treat you mean, rude, and stare at you. But, the majority of people are nice, and kind. Health care, does need to come a long way to improve for the disabled. Sometimes, places that are fun, are still not accessible for everyone.

They need to learn how it feels to be handicapped and feel different. I have children stare at me in the stores, which makes me feel bad. Kids need to be educated about what truly disabled means.
