Today I agree that I'm emotionally strong 😊 at the sametime I felt embarrassed but I won't let the darkness shadow my light ✨️ #ThisIsMyStory I was minding my own business going about doing my shopping. Everything was going fine until this happened. A 5/6 yrs child literally screamed & started pointing fingers at me as if "it" had seen a ghost 👻 or an alien 👽 everyone in the shop started panicking wondering why the child was crying. I nearly lost my cool but I stood there in calmness- the child was screaming uncontrollable, the mom came & took the child away without even trying to explain to the child that I am a human being. The mother failed to handle the situation by acting the way she did. Everyone in the shop was asking why the child was crying & the explanation left me hurting hearing hearing the was afraid of me. There was a lady who came to my rescue and we started talking about the whole encounter. I surely don't look scary 😞 do I? #MyConclusion 1. No human should experience that kind of embarrassment 2. Parents should teach their children about #PeopleWithDisabilities 3. Public places are for everyone 4. Be nice I encourage #PWDs not to allow negative encounters to stop them from living a purposeful life. Go out there and be You! Let your light shine so bright and scare all the demons 😈 Stay safe! Stay Cool #PeopleWithDisabilities are ordinary people like you
