on being a cripple

I think that the story is coming from an interesting perspective. Because the author is a cripple herself, she gives a good insight into the life of a cripple. I like how the author says that she doesn't want to be called handicapped or disabled. Those terms to me seem more and i can understand where the author is coming from. I also think its interesting how if the author could get rid of her disease, she wouldn't because she knows that God gave it to her for a reason. i think thats an interesting outlook on life and suprisingly positive.
