[Susan27501]

I have a friend whom I admire and respect. She has cerebral palsy. She has a wonderful attitude about life and handles her challenges with great courage. She is never bitter about the fact that it takes her twice or three times as long as it would take me to get dressed. She never complains about her legs not doing exactly what her mind tells them to. Nor does she act bothered about the fact that she couldn't take notes the way I could when we were in University together. When she applied to university she had more paperwork to fill out (because of her disability). The fact is that it takes her almost twice as long to do most things. They just aren't as easy as they are for you and I. She never complains, and I don't think it would occur to her to cut to the front of the line. I'm not saying that every person with a disability has as good an attitude as she does, but I do think that if they are feeling the need to go to the front of the line, maybe they deserve to get a break for once. If all it takes is letting someone who is handicapped go ahead of you in line - I urge you to do it ... and be thankful that you don't half to go through the daily trials and tribulations that they do.
