Having a disability means that you might not be able to do something just like everyone else your age. Living with that disability means enjoying your life and activities in your own way.
Someone with asthma might have breathing problems, but they still run races and win Olympic medals.
People with vision problems might not be able to read the same magazines that their friends read, but they write and publish their own articles and stories.
Disabilities present challenges and difficulties. Life is how we deal with them.
