One barrier I have overcome is dealing with bullying from my classmates. It was difficult for me to stand up for myself and ignore those who didn’t understand my disability. However, I learned to be resilient and assertive, which helped me to defend myself against the negativity. Through sports, I developed discipline and perseverance, which empowered me to face these challenges head-on. I also made new friends who support and understand me. This journey has brought me joy in my successes and has given my life a greater sense of purpose. I now feel stronger and more confident in who I am.
