London 2012 Paralympics comes to an end!
As the Paralympics comes to an end today. I feel so inspired. Every event I watched was in awe and an equal amount of admiration!
These individuals came as competitors from different nations but shared a common determination of carrying on with life without seeing any limits.
I personally see disability in a totally different way now. What excuse can I give now when I speak negativity into my life due to a temporary physical issue? after hearing some of the background stories on how some of the competitors got there and what they have had to contend with daily......I NO FIT TALK !!! These individuals have let no barriers stand in their way!
The London 2012 Paralympics is the first Paralympics I have watched. But these extraordinary people have definitely pushed boundaries and changed perceptions. These superhuman like men and women have gone to amazing lengths and most have overcome great adversity to reach this stage.
I saw things I never ever thought were possible, like blind football, blind archery or, even where the "able" bodied Nigerian team failed to win a medal the very able, "disabled" team gave us our respectable 13 medals( including 6 Gold medals). BRAVO!!!
This Paralympics has definitely changed my attitude and I'm sure the attitudes of many people towards people with disabilities.
