What I Push For

So, I watch this show called "Push Girls" and for those of you who don't know "Push Girls" is a new reality show about five girls who use wheelchairs, Tiffany, Auti, Mia, Chelsie and Angela. The show follows their lives, their struggles and their strange encounters.
I love this show and I am a total fan! I follow their Facebook page and they recently asked everyone who follows what they PUSH for. Well, I just wanted to tell everyone what I PUSH for. I PUSH so I can inspire others to PUSH! I PUSH to share my FAITH and experiences! I PUSH to change the world. To break stereotypes. To show that I can do everything you can do.
As you can see I PUSH for a lot of reasons. Some people may think I push for too many reasons, that I'm setting my standards too high. But I'm not, I think I'm doing exactly what God wants me to :)

Breaking the Stereotypes

Remember, back in the old days, when childhood was care-free and children just played. Children were all the same, no one was different. Do you want to know why that was? Because every child that was different was hidden away. Kids (and also adults) who had disabilities were kept in institutions or kept in their home all the time.
Now people who use wheelchairs or walkers (like myself) are out and about and it's either believed that we can't think for ourselves or that we are the "wheelchair people". The last time I checked I was a person not a wheelchair.
I made this blog to break the stereotypes. People who have disabilities (whether it's mental or physical) are just like everybody else. We have thoughts and feelings and we can do everything you can do (sports, reading, writing, art, etc...).


P.S. I also made this blog to share my stupid but funny encounters and experiences!
