ignorance.

we had to make presentations for our professional speech class today. we had to do the presentation on anything that we wanted and i did mine about the stereotypes of people in wheelchairs. i spoke about how when we went to stores, the clerks wouldn't address me when i was the one buying the merchandise, they would always speak to my grandma because she was the one that was with me and i think they felt uncomfortable talking to me.i spoke about how younger kids often would approach me and they weren't shy or ignorant, moreso than people that were older than young kids. i also spoke about the label that was given to me a couple of years ago when i was in my psychology class by this stupid ignorant girl, when she was speaking to her friend on the phone she spoke about me as "that one girl in the wheelchair" using a weird tone of voice. i spoke about how i thought that was disrespectful and ignorant because it was obvious that i could hear her conversation with her friend on the phone and how it was disrespectful to label me as "that one girl in the wheelchair" because i'm a person, i'm not just "that one girl in the wheelchair" i have feelings too, she treated me like i was a thing without a personality. i'm just sick of this ignorance. i find ignorance everywhere i go and i think that everyone that i truly gave a shit about has been ignorant towards me lately.. oh well.
