i'm listening to kate nash's mouthwash right now and i really feel that i can identify with some of the lyrics...
and this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it, Iill still be
here
and, this, is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine
and, this, is my brain, and even if you try and hold me back there’s nothing
that you can gain
there's people who think that because i'm disabled, it must mean that my brain doesn't work along with my legs. that my physical impairment makes me mentally inferior to them. yeah, there are some people in this world for whom this is the case, i'm not denying it, but i think it's pretty obvious that when i've been in mainstream education for ten years and take the same curiculum as everyone else, that there's not much wrong with me.
i'll go to university next autumn and prove all these idiots wrong!
