To be honest its hard for me to just visualize myself in a disabled perspective. I think that the only way I can feel and see their views if I injured myself to the point that I am disabled. I have not been to any major accident to where I am sent to the hospital. I've only push my body too far and stop right when I know I cannot no more. I've had my braces off for quite some time now and the first time having them just made me feel vulnerable and made me realize how precious my teeth was. It was hard to eat and the fact that I was limited to certain food. I could only eat soft food, nothing too crunchy or hard. Because if it does not hurt me it damages the braces. I know it is probably not close to someone who lost a leg, arm, or vision etc. However, at those times where some part of me was disabled I felt bad that I could not use them at their full capacity. I began to realize how crucial to have them and how valuable they are. I mean losing something is completely different from being temporarily disabled. Losing something are those that are disabled and that is why they are labeled as someone who has a disability. I feel that I am starting to understand what being disabled truly means. I mean sure it has something to do with being unable to do things and their physical appearance, but that one thing does not make them disabled and it is that one thing that makes them disabled and therefore they have the disability of that one thing.
