One specific memory before handicap parking, I struggled physically to carry a huge, heavy, awkward portfolio for blocks when attending ASU. I also remember feeling very much alone in my personal physical limitations. There has been such a stigma connected to being physically disabled that that has added to isolation and personal struggles with self-esteem and confidence.
