Did you know that one out of every five people have a disability, and 90% are hidden? That sounds like a lot of people, doesn’t it? Therefore, there is not a reason to be afraid. We all have fears, ambitions, and feelings. Let’s say someone told you to get to Walt Disney World without saying how. There are a lot of ways to get to Walt Disney World: bus, train, airplane, just to name a few. The goal is to get to Disney. It is the same concept with someone who has a disability. We all do the same things, but in different ways and different times. We are all more alike than different!
