About Me?
I am an individual with disabilities, I have an 80% db loss in the high frequency and have always viewed life as being filled with opportunities and challenges. I have always tr...Expand for more
ied to take all the opportunities presented to me, and even some that were not! Nevertheless, I try to see the positives in life and in my co-workers. It is through the hearts of many who have helped me through the years, that I have maintained a positive attitude toward everyday life's challenges.
My primary challenge of deafness is invisible. I do have what's called an invisible handicap. Translated, that means it is unrecognizable to everyone, but me. I feel I must interject here: I really dislike the words handicapped and disabled. The very connotations of the words bring forth the image of "can't do."Do you know where the word "handicapped" originated? In the early years, people with impairment would take their caps in hand, and beg for money to survive.
I propose that every one of us needs to take a strong look at the "can do's" in the lives of those who have a limitation, it would certainly make life a lot more exciting. Too many people fall into the trap of the "can't do," and believe me, I know just how easy this is to do. I wish I had a nickel for every time someone told me I couldn't achieve something while I was growing up; I would have been a millionaire by age 21!
If one looks at normal physical or mentally challenging events in one's life such as the fear of not doing a good job, or the fear of what your peers or colleagues think of you: these things are very stressful; [ This is true for all people.] However, with those individuals like myself with impairments, it's a double whammy!
Both the physically and mentally challenged and the non-handicapped .....(do you like that word-sounds bad doesn't it? Well, it's not)..... I must live with tremendous fears, and it is my feeling that only with the avenue of positive education and awareness, combined with the positive motivation of good business economics, will the fear and the misconceptions change. As you can see, I do not support separatist, militant, or radical advocacy avenues by which the handicapped person is treated. We've all been put down and shut out. Rather, I support showing the need for the physically- and mentally- challenged. We are a positive, viable resource when employers are aware.
The physically- and mentally- challenged have many unique talents, which we can use to give to others, proving that giving is indeed a two-way street. Do you know what the biggest handicap in the world is? The lack of knowledge and awareness about individuals with any type of impairment. Generally defined, it is a preconceived notion of what an individual can or cannot do. As you can see, progress is not consistent in dealing with the handicapped. But that is why the handicapped are now being recognized as a last minority. I would like to offer a challenge to you today
