Many of us tend to look at the disable community as they were different than us and
many of us treats people with disabilities as they were or are monsters. Like they were some
type creatures that for some reason those who are not disable believe that in some way or
another the non-disable community should fear the disable community, because according to
many people due to their mental illness, we should fear them since they could hurt the rest of
us at any time, which is just ridicules to me. To add to it, taking the disability class with
professor Julia Rodas, helped me understand much better the disable community. Also, it
helped me learn how treat the disable community without disrespecting them and I learned to
treating them just like I would treat anybody else because they are like every single one of us
and deserve the same respect as the non-disable community do. Therefore, I recommended to
anybody who ones thought of a disable person as a “monster,” due to their disability, to think
twice before mistreating or disrespecting one with a disability because I believe we all deserve
equality in our society with or without disabilities. I recommend thinking right before calling a
disable one, crazy or retarded because first of all, we all need to respect one another and
second I don’t believe that just because a person has a mental illness should be called crazy.

disabilities can do some things that nondisabled people cannot do, bringing their experience
and focus to key aspects of a task. Individuals with disabilities can bring work ethic skills to
complete an assignment or project, allowing them to make a contribution to society.
