Hazel Climbs Mountains

How should a physically handicapped person view the world? For instance, a child with cerebral palsy may struggle to understand why others make fun of her. Why don't they listen to what she's trying to say? Why can't she walk like they do? Why is she barred from the same schools? And why can't she study and pass exams, even if she is unable to write? Don't they see that she has the same determination and intelligence as they do?

Thankfully, some people do understand. Opportunities now exist to succeed in school, to find love, and to experience a fulfilling life, even as cerebral palsy presents its challenges. The world has grown more caring and accepting of the handicapped, though the elusive cure remains out of reach.

But even with education and studies now possible, how can a physically handicapped person navigate the modern, competitive job market? And beyond employment, can an adult with a disability find a partner who accepts them fully? If they form a couple, what about children? Can a disabled parent raise a child successfully? Will the child accept their parent's condition?

Over the seven decades of Hazel's life, the world has evolved significantly. What was once impossible for someone with cerebral palsy is now worth fighting for.
