Handicapped and loving it!
Handicap: the disadvantage that makes success more difficult. When I was in school, we had classrooms for "handicapped" kids. We called them "special ed" classrooms back in the day. I don't even know if they even still exist today. Kids with both mental and physical "handicaps" spent their days in the classroom, learning the skills they'd need to make it in life. It was my privilege to serve these kids in my high school. Yep, my privilege. I got to be a teacher's aide during their physical education class. Right up my alley! I loved the gym, the open field, and even the quiet of the water of the indoor pool. It was made more perfect when I first saw one of these kids experience these wide open spaces for the first time! You see, it was a new "concept" for my PE teacher, and she went out on a limb to show that these "handicapped" kids could be just as involved in the things life said they "couldn't" ...
