Life is full of challenges, but people are full of grit and determination. If there is no football to play with, we can make one! If we want to run faster, we can practice! If we want to learn, we can listen! Sometimes we need tools or accommodations to help us overcome obstacles, like wheelchairs or sign language or sighted guides. But regardless of the particular challenges we face, we can all grow, learn and thrive. Our different abilities come with different gifts and assets as well, and diversity in any community brings strength. Whatever our goals, our determination and perseverance can help us reach them.
