Me in Social Innovation Forum in Singapore
( with my GOOD friends angels cheering for me)
I have speech impairment as the result. I am slow in speech and I can not pronounce some words clearly.
"scary but I wanted to speak clearly"
It was so amazing I was able to step up on a stage during the SIP. I have never done this before. Standing on stage,sharing my experiences and creating an awareness of Being Disabled does not mean unable.
Even Through, I was scare and worried at the very moment, my aim was to get the message across. My focus is on creating a better awareness for the public to understand more on the disabled.
"Being disabled is not a sin. We did not choose to be born thus. I wish to create an awareness of the difficulties faced by people with disabilities in the area of employment. By sharing my personal experiences, I hope to reach out to employers and to appeal to them to be more open in employing people with disabilities. Disabled does not mean unable. Given an opportunity and with good support, people with disabilities can prove to be a valuable contributor to both economy and society. "
With the support and encouragements of my friends, I was able to share my experiences and the reason of why I written my life experiences into a book. Now sharing on stage. It was really a breakthrough for me to step out of my fear and shared in front of many strangers. I guess it is all within our mind, if our desire is strong enough, nothing can stop us. I thank God for His grace and love.
