Living with a disability in Ireland today
In class today we had a long and mature discussion about people who have a disability. Afterwards we typed a thought board on the subject. Here are my thoughts....
There are people all around the world in wheelchairs and homes, but why should they be treated any different from me or you?
Around 15% of people in the world are disabled,
that’s about 1 billion people. This figure is increasing due to population growth.
There are about 600,000 disabled people in Ireland
alone, that is 13% of the population.
Why don’t disabled people have the same education
opportunities as able bodied people?
How can we treat disabled people on the same level
as us?
The way that we treat disabled people or people less
fortunate than us represents us and who we are.
If people don’t stand up and help disabled people,
who will?

That's scholarship standard writing.
