If You Watch Any John Hughes Film

When I Watch Mad Men And I See The Patronising Attitudes To Women That Are So Shocking For All Of Us To Watch Now, I Feel That I've Lived And See The Same Evolution In This Regard Around Disability.

A Lot Of My Life Is About Will - Having The Will To Prove What My Body Can Do.

I Have Learned Not To Overlook The Advantages Of Being Me. From When I Was A Softball Player, And I Held The Stolen Bases Record. I Would Slide Into Second With My Prostheses, And The Girl On The Base Could Either Step Aside Or Meet Two Wooden Sticks.

Giving Up Is Conceding That Things Will Never Get Better, And That Is Just Not True. Ups And Downs Are A Constant In Life, And I've Been Belted Into That Roller Coaster A Thousand Times.

The Power Of The Human Will To Compete And The Drive To Excel Beyond The Body's Normal Capabilities Is Most Beautifully Demonstrated In The Arena Of Sport.
