TASK 3.1

I can think about many celebrities with disabilities, who have made significant contributions to society. Albert Einstein had a learning disability. Stephen Hawking, a brilliant scientist who’s got Gehrig’s disease. Of course, there are millions of people who live with, battle and overcome their disabilities every single day of their lives.

I personally know many people with disabilities. That is people I admire because, whatever their problem is, it really doesn´t hold them from doing what they want. Sometimes is other people who think that they aren´t capable of success. They tell them things like: “Oh, maybe you should try something else, that (doing the thing they want) seems too hard for you”. Incredibly, sometimes mothers are the ones who do that, given the fact that they don´t want their children to be hurt.

But these people have a lot to teach us. Their strength. Their special way to face difficulties. The way they look at world. They are people to be respected and loved.
