Did you know?

I haven’t been going to Hyeeun school for over a month now, and it seems like I won’t be going there for another month. As I mentioned, Hyeeun school is on winter break, and the law in Korea changed that Korean school rests on Saturdays leaving me no time to go to Hyeeun school. However, I’ll eventually revisit Hyeeun school again, hopefully.

Did you know that people with disabilities desire to live life no differently than anyone else the most ? Their dream is to live something we define as a ‘ normal life’. They want to go shopping, go to the movies, go out to eat, work, and enjoy leisure times without limitations. Office for National Statistics states that disabled people have limited opportunities in education and leisure. Many disabled adults, 83 per cent, have difficulties participating in social activities.

These are the things we, including myself, have, but are the things that we don’t appreciate. Humans have the tendency to forget the value of the obvious. The ability to move freely seems too obvious to us, but it is something that some people desire the most. I am not saying we should guilty. However, we should not be at least inconsiderate about the issue. At least, we should try to help. Help doesn’t have to be big, such as donations and volunteer work. Help could be just simply as not parking on the handicapped parking spots, not using handicapped bathrooms, and opening the door for someone who can’t easily do so.
