I have seen those nasty locked elevators in some schools (not all schools) that I have worked in. Always wondered who they were actually meant for because access was severely limited!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 , you are gorgeous, talented and fearless -- and blessed to have a supportive family.. It's hard to believe a school, supposedly an institution of learning, would publically display such ignorance, though I'm betting they're darn sorry now they didn't just give you a stupid key to begin with.  They look 'so' foolish. You'll probably never know how many people you've saved by sharing a part of you're personal life. What is that saying -- save one person and you save the world. You make me feel joyful.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow and . Good job! NEVER be ashamed of how you look ever. You are both beautiful. I climbed stairs just like you, , for years. , I fell down stairs in high school for years. The principal assigned two football players (likely as punishment for something they'd done wrong) to me and their job was to carry my books from class to class so I could try to ascend or descend the stairs using both hands on the railings. I fell weekly. It was terrible and I was so bruised and broken I could hardly move sometimes. There was no elevator but that was 50 years ago. At university, years later, I knew I'd get knocked over by the hordes of kids in the halls and I couldn't climb the stairs so i asked if I could park a small electric scooter in one of the hall closets. They said yes (I think being a mature student helped but things had changed re awareness somewhat) and I plugged it in to charge it between classes. I'd park my car in the parking lot for disabled student, walk up a ramp to the door, climb up the one step into the door and walk carefully along the wall about 30 feet to the closet, unlock the door, unplug the scooter, get on, drive out, relock the door and I'd be on my way to classes all over the university. I sat on it during class and eventually organized a committee to make the university more accessible and establish an office for disabled students. Thstbwas from 1984 until 1989. The university is totally accessible now and they have probably 15 people working on various aspects of access. I've been an advocate for people with disabilities ever since. NEVER sell yourself short. Go after what you want and what you need. You did it once, you'll likely have to do it agaon but every time you do it people learn and others benefit. Kudos to both of you. I think you're terrific C. Has anyone put the TV spot on You-tube.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I still don't know what they were thinking. Sad they still won't give out keys to other kids or teachers that need it.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thank you, I am not sure about the youtube. I sent your email on to so she can see how far things have come from when you were in school until now. Funny access was available for but she was still denied.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 , I am glad to hear that your daughter finally has access to the elevator. When I went to high school about 20 years ago I had to use an elevator, however the school gave me a key on the first day every year I attended. It was not just me, it was anybody who was in a wheelchair or had a hard time walking. I was also allowed to leave class 5 minutes early so that I would have an easier time moving from class to class during break. In addition if I wanted I could have a friend push me in my wheelchair.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thank you Spy.. I was in so much pain and I just didn't have the energy to do anything. I do not do well with stress at all. I have worked myself up to almost 3 minutes on the treadmill. Before this started I could do 20 mins. The stress has really taken a toll. In a message dated 2/18/2011 5:24:38 P.M.
