Before beginning my blog, I
had a conundrum to solve. I could have easily started a blog about football, or
more specifically the Arsenal but there are so many of them in cyber space
already. Another passion of mine is politics but it seems everyone nowadays has
an opinion on that subject. Anyway, people may argue those two interests are
rather questionable in the first place. It was back to the drawing board for
me. As anyone who knows me will testify, I am not afraid to be different which
got me thinking, what makes me unique? It’s because I am a ‘Wheelchair Boy’.
I do not in anyway define
myself by my disability. My Facebook and Twitter photos are mostly of my top
half and conceal the fact I am wheelchair bound. I rarely cry about it or ask
for sympathy. I just get on with life. It’s not me who labels myself as a
‘Wheelchair Boy’ but instead society. People have never called me names but I
know that there is an inherent prejudice towards disabled people which bubbles
beneath the surface. I do not blame anyone or get angry because if I was able
bodied, I’d take the exact same view.
The world is not going to
change over night but hopefully, by reading this blog and finding out about my
life, people will become slightly more aware and less ignorant.
Bye for now!
Great Blog Glen, Keep it up :)
