At the end of her chapter, “Body in Trouble”, Nancy Mairs notes that all too often individuals with physical disabilities are excluded from moral life. In her words, she says “people don’t generally expect much of a cripple’s character” and describes the difficulty of helping in normal charitable activities (such as serving at a soup kitchen). Mairs is realistic about her ability to contribute to certain charitable activities—she cannot chop vegetables or scrub dishes. If a life of service is a Christian calling, like the church affirms, how can we expand our idea of what “service” is so that all people can engage with it? What ways can those with disabilities provide care for non-disabled people, so that the direction does not strictly flow

Remember that iconic female character from “Star Wars”. Her name is Carrie Fisher, but before her career skyrocketed her mother called the shots in the acting career. Debbie Reynolds was one of the greatest singers,dancers, and actress before and after the sixties but even more important she was a loving mother. Debbie was one of the few people who inspired many people to go after their dreams, no matter the struggles you go through. Mary Frances Reynolds was really poor as a child.

All adversity is dreadful, but depending on what you do about it, is what makes you amazing. Aimee Mullins and Bethany Hamilton are two marvelous girls who overcame some harsh misfortune, though dealing with similar adversities. While both Aimee and Bethany are similar because they both overcame the will to stop trying, they are different in the ways they react to their situations. Both Aimee Mullins and Bethany Hamilton are similar because they lost their limbs, but overcame the will to stop trying. In addition, Aimee Mullins got creative and with help from others, made something to help her out.
NO matter how much of a pain it was for her, she kept going and don 't’ give up. Persistence may be difficult at the time to accomplish, but in the end it pays off. After Aimee Mullins had gone through what she did, she was still disabled but it wasn’t difficult for her to do what everyone else could do. This experience for her not only taught her hat she was very persistant and a hard worker, but also taught her that it didn’t matter whether or not she was disabled or not, she could do whatever she wanted to as long as you keep trying to achieve your
Joan Hoff once stated, “The Kellogg-Briand Pact stands as the most idealistic (and most impractical) collective attempt to ensure peace in the interwar period” (“The Kellogg-Briand Pact”). The Pact Of Paris, better known as The Kellogg-Briand Pact, was created to outlaw future wars between nations. Politicians wanted to settle any disputes that arose between countries by using peace. Citizens that experienced the World War I were frightened. The people who witnessed World War I agreed to anything that would help stop world wars from ever happening again.
An example of someone who excelled in this trait is Hamen Girma, a blind and deaf woman who pursued her passion of law, eventually becoming the first blind and deaf student to graduate from Harvard Law School; she is also now following her ambition of fighting for better education of other blind and deaf people around the world. Many challenges can face a person, such as physical challenges, challenges at home, and emotional challenges. A person's challenges should not define them and make them give up on what they wish in their lives. Challenges should make people want to be better and to show others that the challenge doesn't define them. Someone who gives up the moment things get challenging or when they don't understand something is not someone who should be in NHS.
Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless

She went on to say that she is tired of the injustice, after telling the story of how she hired a police stripper for her grandmother’s birthday and the back massage only lasted for an hour. DeRay Mckesson went on to say “When’s the last time you heard a Holocaust, Sandy Hook, or Columbine joke at an awards show? Exactly.”
Maria’s story gave me a new level of respect for homeless people everywhere. Her story changed my perspective. The question remains: Can story change the whole world? Well, we can start with a college. George Mason is one of the most diverse schools in the country, but how familiar are students with each other’s culture?
While it made me sad to hear that so many people are struggling, hurting and fighting to overcome such a powerful problem, it amazed me at how strong these people
