Every time I step outside, the lack of handicap accessibility in the world feels like a constant battle. Doors stay closed to me, and buildings stand as inaccessible fortresses, ignoring ADA requirements. Yet, despite the societal shortcuts that impose these barriers, each challenge only strengthens my resolve. In the face of adversity, I find the resilience to keep fighting for inclusivity and equal access for all. I stand proud of my disability and the strength it gives me to advocate for change.
