Refection

My best friend K once told me “It's hard for people to see themselves clearly. it's like looking into a mirror w/o your glasses on: everything is foggy and it's hard to see straight. friends are like glasses. they put everything into focus.” I had no idea she was so smart. Sometimes I worry that people only see my disability and who I really am. Its had for me to see what my friends think of me because I tend to look at things in a understated way. Every body wants to be recognized for the things they do, but not how they accomplish them. People will often say to me “ Your really great!” Well am I great because I did something in portent or am I great because I have a disability and I did some normal everyday activity. I want to be know for being funny and having a great scene of humor not because I walked down the street with out falling on my face. (I have done that allot) I’m torn because when I make it to a class with out tripping or stumbling down the sidewalk I feel accomplished and so very pleased I got my legs to do what I want then to do, but I don’t want other people to do that to me. There is nothing more embarrassing than walking to class and having complete strangers ask if I’m ok.
