Let the fun begin!

I have an assignment for the next few days and that is to become a person with a disability. For my Accessible Recreation class, we are given the task of becoming disabled in any way for a day. We could choose to not use an arm, leg, go on crutches, be deaf, mute or blind or any other physically-disabling condition. I have chosen to be paraplegic and got a wheelchair for the weekend. The assignment is to do it for only one day but I really want to do it for more to receive a better understanding of wheelchairs usage as it is most likely the population I will be working with. I think I will become "paraplegic" both on Saturday and Monday. I can't do it on Sunday because church is on campus and it would take FOREVER to get there. It might be a little tricky getting up to my apartment on the 3rd story (I may just be miraculously healed for a few minutes when walking up the stairs with my wheelchair). But all in all, I am sure it will be a learning process!

Here are some pictures of what I think I will try to do in the next few days:
