It is so interesting to me how great of conversations and insights i learned. First, i want to talk about my psych class. my professor wanted to know why we chose the profession we are in. i began to explain how i can connect with others who have a disability because obviously i have one. i was proud of myself for saying that because it showed me how much i have grown in my confidence of having a disability. a while ago i would not have mentioned my disability at all. i think it is because i have realized how important it is for me to mention so people understand i am not afraid to talk aout it and also those conversations need to happen. i talked in the beginning and maybe it was just me but i felt like more people were being more personal in their response. maybe because i was but it almost brought me to tears hearing how open people were.
Second, my math teacher came up to me after class and asked me if bringing my computer to take notes would be better. i was super excited that she wasn't afraid to ask me something.
Third, i was walking with my friend the other day and she noticed that a girl walked by and was staring at me. i did not see her but my friend then brought it up when she passed and we had a great conversation about how i feel. i just smiled to myself thinking how much i love it when i can have an open and honest conversation with people about being disabled. more of that needs to happen. i just thank God for those conversations.
Lastly, something funny. i went to a zumba class on saturday. i was kind of nervous if i was going to be able to do it and if people were going to judge me. of course i stood out like a sore thumb because im a tall girl that has no good sense of movement. but there is other older women in the class that struggled also. it made me wonder why i was nervous. of course i cannot do things like others but as long as i try my best that is all i could do. but let me tell you i sure was sore!!! my muscles work much harder to do something than a normal person so just doing one hour of zumba is like doing 2 hours for me. but oh well. i just am happy i did it and its good for my muscles to get stronger so things wont be as hard for me!
