This is so awesome pieta! I love how you have adapted to the change in your life so well and very grown up like! From knowing you since we were only young kids running around playing ghost in the graveyard I still that same girl in this video! Good on you!
Attitude is such a well required reminder of the fact that I have no business complaining about my life. Honestly, I am grateful to you guys for producing docs of such inspiring individuals who have embraced life with all its splodges...We live in a blessed country with so much support, give or take. You go girl...you've a frickin awesome life waiting to unfold...shine on !! toku aroha katoa❤💞
For me personally, losing anonymity in a public space was one of the biggest challenges of life in a wheelchair. It may not seem like a big deal at first, but think about how you’d feel if all eyes are on you whenever you use the glass elevator, sit in the hall because you don’t have a suitable desk, use a portable ramp, get on a bus, get your wheelchair in/out of your vehicle, and more, every single time. Even if you’re an extremely outgoing, extroverted person, think about this happening all day, every day. Sometimes you just want to pick up your kids after school without attracting a crowd of gawkers. I understand it’s human nature to notice differences and most people aren’t malicious about it, but it doesn’t make it any more comfortable.
Mr. Rodgers had a great show where he featured a boy in a wheelchair and later we got to see that same boy as a grown man getting on Bart San Francisco and doing his job as an Architect. Hope you can find that on youtube?
Ok so the first gal that was riding in a glass elevator, she needs to realize that there ARE still gentleman in the world, and holding a door or opening a door for a lady is still ok. Don’t assume it’s just because you have a disability is why they do kind things for you. Let a gentleman be a gentleman for you, you don’t want to be a prude. 😉
I really enjoy opening doors for myself doesn't matter if its a gentleman or a lady, whether it's because i'm a woman or disabled, and I couldn't care less if politely declining makes me a prude
I love your attitude and positivity Pieta. You are a strong courageous young woman, representing yourself and your community well. Blessings to you.
I’m so happy that they showed two girls in chairs! Mobility impairment is a huge spectrum and it can look very different in different people.
I’m very privileged to know this girl!! She’s amazing inside and out ❤️keep it up :)

I thought that guy was actually pretty rude about it. He kept insisting after she said she wanted to do it herself.

No means no, doesn’t matter how kind the offer was.
You are very good looking :)
