I was born into this world many years ago, since I know I will not live forever am determined to leave behind some legacy. I cannot walk on foot, but my wheelchair has given me the mobility to go round to different places preaching the gospel of hope to everybody especially those who are in this situation. I have realized that am not alone in this, those who are normal; walking on their feet understand that am abled differently. Am not a burden to them, they love me and are always ready to support and listen my opinions. Disability doesn’t define who I am instead it’s a labeling aspect that is used to identify me and many others who are like me.
I have the vision to make my future better; the present situation is causing me lack the reason to be alive. All these negative things about me will be stories of the past because disability should not be an obstacle to my success. My excellent and audible voice is a natural asset that I have which am going to use to inspire and encourage other people in the world. I am going to start a campaign to sensitize and inform people that we are abled differently, an initiative I believe will motivate hundreds of people using wheelchairs like me. It’s my responsibility to make it known to them that disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you are needed by someone.
I know that I am a disabled person, but I will not let the disability to define who I am.

My unique abilities, opinions, and perspective of how things should be done can incredibly influence the lives of the human race. I am not going to remain silent from today henceforth, because people are looking for inspiration to keep going on with life.
