In this article i think  this guy called Cmon was so fair becouse  he dumped his girl friend in terms of the girl have been changed but they were in a a relationship for four years. Now he sees that this girl will never do anything becouse of the disability but they are coming far so this guy is not thinking back were they come from he is just run away looking for the good girls. So this girl is unhappy she thinks that is the end of life maybe she will never have relationship love affair becouse of her disability.Also this guy was unatractive.

my journeya "as paraplegic"

while reading this article what i have noticed is that it is not easy for the people who have disability to accept themselves. They think every things that are happening to their lives happens because they are disable for example this para woman think that her man left her because she is disable. All i can say is that if someone find it difficult to accept his or her disability must find help and go to support groups in order get to accept the situation and start afresh.

My journey as a “paraplegic”

I respect the fact that the person is very optimistic in the blog and she tries not to concentrate on the negative effects of the break-up. Most people with a disability would think that they are being dumped because of their disability and that’s usually where the confusion starts. You start to feel bad about yourself and think what you could’ve done to improve the relationship and why this had to happen to you. With an attitude like that it could be difficult to enter into another relationship with a positive outlook.

This is why I respect the blogger’s views on her break-up and future relationships because she’s not focusing on the negative but positive. A lot of women who are not disabled could learn a lot from her story. If I look at the challenges paraplegics faced when it comes to relationships I understand the difficulty for both parties  to come to terms with the fact that one of them can’t necessarily do things normal couples do.

Task 1 - my thought of the story

The whole article that i've read, its kind of intersting she has had the problems on the fact that she broke up with her boyfriend jthat they have been dating for 4 years but she it did bother her for a while maybe he left her because she was in the accident but after a while she got to a point where she just decided to snap out of it because worry about things that was never true is not good.

After a while of thinking about things she came out to be positive about all the things that happened to her even being in a accident and being paraplegic, she is inspiring because at the end she has hope.

my journey " as a paraplegic" relationships

Reading this article a few things stood out to me: The fact that she was a paraplegic, her confidence as well as outlook on life and then her writing style. Its heart breaking that shes a "para" as she refers to it, and that her boyfriend of 4 years called it quits. I picked up that she still has a sense of hope and that the 'Mr. perfect' is out there waiting for her. I noticed she does not pity herself, which one would almost expect of somebody in her situation. What caught my attention most was her writing style, it was almost casual and fun to read. The words and style of words that she used gave it almost a fun aspect because most readings that us as students read is usually of an academic nature. Its a refreshing outlook on relationships and gives me a sense of hope almost.

Touched my heart...

The article really touched my heart because this blogger had a lot of things that she was going through.She was already 25 years old when when the incident happened which left her permanently seated. One can only imagine how much stress she must have gone through because having something(as important as your legs) taken away from you that you have been used to for 25 years...i do not think that i could have done that.She also talks about the relationships that she had before as well as during this difficult time in her life. Her relationship that she had with God had changed, she felt that he was not there for her otherwise He would not have let this happen to her. While she was dealing with her situation she also let her relationship slip with the boyfriend that she had at the time. The article also gave us a chance to stop and think that paraplegics also have feelings and all the things that they have to deal with and are still dealing with.

hard life of disabled people

EED TASK1 TITLE:MY JOURNEY AS A PARAPLEGIC.




This woman narrates the story in a very clear and satisfying way because she states both her previous and current thoghts about her late situation.
I think that the man this woman used to date before her accident did not love her but her but her lower body as the relationship ended after his girlfriend got paralyzed.
i believe that women are strong people as they can face and overcome many challenges at the same time as i strongly believe that if this experience happened to a man he would have killed himself.
 this story implies that disability is not the end of life as there are still people who prefer disabled people since they believe that they are less problematic compared to those with no disabilities.
judging other people because of their disabilities is not a good thing to do as they did not choose to be god just wanted them to be the way they are and for that matter we all have our disabilities but they differ since some are visible and some are not and that causes people to believe that they are better than others.




The main reason that may cause disabled people not to easily accept their disability is the fact that once you suffer from a visible disablement the society begins to reject and isolate you as if you are not a human being but a scary and stinking wild animal.
the people with invisible disabilities are expected to love,respect and care about disabled people but instead they murder,rape and abuse these disabled people.
South Africa is a rainbow  nation because of different race groups and different types of people so if we keep killing and hurting disabled people our country will no longer be a rainbow  nation.
