change of heart
So last summer I got the chance to work at a summer camp in Dallas Texas. It was a summer camp for children and adults with disabilities. The summer was broken up like this: May 24- July 27 ages 19 and up (we had one that was 60) all of whom were either developmentally delayed (DD) or physically challenged (PC) (alternated weekly between DD and PC), July 5-10 Dual sensory impaired (blind and deaf), and then from July 12- August 1 ages 6-29 (PC and DD alternated weekly. I only worked the first part working with the adults and teens. I had so much fun and learned so much. One thing I learned and had to start to understand is that all PC and DD people are just like us. They can do almost anything the only thing that makes them different is they have a disability. I had to learn not to judge and not to help if they told me they didn't want any help. The reason I am writing this now and I didn't earlier is because I am watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It is about a family where the mom adopted 7 girls that have disabilities from no legs to developmentally delayed children. I have seen these disabled people ride horses, swim, do a ropes course everything we can do when they are quadriplegic (don't have any use of any of their limbs) it is amazing what they can do and I have learned not to judge anyone anymore by the way they look or think. I believe that if everyone learned this discrimination against the disabled would disappear. Take this into heart the next time you see a disabled or developmentally delayed person and don't judge them by their disability judge them by their character. Thanks for reading and if you want share this story with your friends.
