1193 Words5 Pages

The parking lot at Walmart was accessible. We went in the morning around 10:00 AM, so it wasn’t too busy with people. There were several handicap parking spots, lots of space for walking, and a pretty big cross walk. Once inside, the lightening is bright, and building is large. It’s a Supercenter, so it’s not limited to grocery items. Since there weren’t many people, most of the noise came from the background music. We heard announcements from the intercom, the sound of shopping carts, and the sound of people checking out. The aisles were all labeled by the items provided. There was a sign for the restrooms, water fountains, customer service, and departments. It was a nice day outside, mid-60s and sunny, but the temperature inside was chilly.

A consideration to keep in mind is if a family member or friend couldn’t find a specific time to assist us, then we would have to take a public transportation bus. This would be the most convenient transportation, because it wouldn’t require too much communication. We would be able to visualize the city and our environment. We wouldn’t have to explain to the bus driver where we needed to go; we would have a choice of where we wanted to go since buses drive in a routine cycle. With this diagnosis, we would be able to recognize where Walmart was, where the bus stop was, and know when to get off. We would also need a handicap accessible

Throughout the course of history, federal legislation and Supreme Court decisions have empowered the evolution of rights for Americans With Disabilities. Milestones made by both branches of government have efficiently modernized and safeguarded this marginalized group of people. For instance, discrimination against these individuals is prohibited, in manners such as, education, public transportation, and employment. However, in the free country of America, their freedom wasn’t granted. Restaurants were able to refuse service to people with disabilities and people confined to wheelchairs were forced to leave them behind to be able to ride a bus or a train.

Many Americans associate ethnic foods with those that are available at local grocery store chains and Americanized ethnic restaurants. The most visible ethnic foods in grocery stores are Asian and Mexican foods. Common food items such as refried beans, soy sauce, tortillas, sesame seed oil, water chestnuts, and salsa limit Americans perspective of cultural foods and ingredients.

With parallel parking being my new favorite thing I was almost certain I was going to pass my road test. I waited in line for what seemed like hours, I watched as people took off, then came back within 5 minutes of their test time. As more and more people came back, failing, I was growing more and more concerned and worried about how I was going to do, and if I was going to pass. I went through it in my head a million times as I waited, I told myself over and over that I could do it, and that I was a good driver, but nothing could reassure me as I saw for what seemed like the 50th person come out of their cars upset, giving their parents the wheel. It was my turn, as my driving instructor got out of the car, he apologized and said, “i’m

Usually, when people express their beliefs on what the most important desideratum or possession in life is, they state whatever it is that they are lacking at the time. Whether it is health, love, beauty, shelter, family - when individuals think about what is essential, it is typically unavailable to them at that moment; that is why the most important necessity in life is self dependence. During these circumstances where we feel something is missing, we try to make others improve the issue and we often overlook that we have the power to make the change. However, being able to rely on oneself to solve problems no matter how minor or major will lead to a sense of triumph and true happiness. The song The Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson
