[Julia]

I am in a wheelchair, and have been since I was around four. Sometimes when I get to school every day, no one is there to open the door. I stay there, kind of shy, waiting until someone walks up to open the door. I don’t really say anything, as I’m too shy. If you can see that a person in a wheelchair looks like they need help, just ask. A simple, ‘Do you need any help with that?’ doesn’t offend me, I’m glad for the gesture. If some people with disabilities take that negatively, they shouldn’t, because it is just an act of kindness. Basically, just wait a few seconds and see if they attempt to do it themselves. Then ask. If they do attempt it, leave them alone. If they attempt and fail, ask. It’s always a nice gesture, and makes my life easier.
