When you think about someone who is disabled you may envision someone who is weak. You may think of someone who needs your help. But we disabled have faced a lot of adversity; adversity builds strength. We have a core of steel. Believe in our ability to "stand". We will succeed. Our success may not look like what you imagined, but it will be what we believe. When you try to protect us; when you doubt our capabilities you keep us weak. Stop. Allow us to grow strong.
