Being a person with a disability, I have faced physical barriers such as inaccessible buildings and lack of ramps. I overcame them by advocating for my needs and creating awareness about the importance of accessibility.
As a person with a disability, I have also encountered discrimination and stigma from others. I overcame this by standing up for myself, educating others about disabilities, and surrounding myself with supportive people.
Another barrier I faced was limited opportunities for employment due to misconceptions about my capabilities. I overcame this by showcasing my skills and abilities, and seeking out employers who valued diversity and inclusion.
Lastly, I have struggled with navigating the healthcare system and accessing necessary resources. I overcame this by being proactive in my healthcare management, seeking out support from healthcare professionals, and connecting with disability advocacy organizations.
