Disability Doesn’t Make You Exceptional

Occasionally, people will tell me that they can picture Ying as a motivational speaker when she grows up. That’s always kind of made me bristle. It’s not that I don’t see that as a valued profession, it’s more that it’s just so clichéd. I mean honestly, wouldn’t it just be awesome if she was a surgeon, a mathematician, a chef?

Stella Young hits it on the head here with I’m not your inspiration, thank you very much. (Plus, you can charge your phone with your wheelchair’s battery. Say what? Why has no one told me this. That could really come in handy!)

Man do I love that. Without further ado, Chris the farmer.
