"I believe this presents a myriad of obstacles faced by people who happen to be differently abled. We are people who choose particular lifestyles, careers, educational opportunities, personal and family choices. Regardless of ones race, ethnic background, age or particular challenge, all people should have options and goals which are not encouraged or discouraged by societies attitudes and expectations of what one is capable or not capable of doing. The lives of people with disabilities are not very different from the lives of those without. It is important for all to realize that external obvious weakness has nothing to do with extraordinary inner strengths."
