What we can all learn from the Paralympics
As the 2022 Winter Paralympics has just finished, I have been reflecting on all the amazing achievements made by all the athletes.
Here are a few things I think we can all learn from the Paralympics and our Paralympians:
Never let a disability hold you back from achieving your goals
Whether you have a disability or not, you can do anything with the right support
Be kind to others, even if you are competitors
Live a healthy life to the best of your abilities
How different countries/people approach disability support
Keep your family and teammates by your side
Paralympians are just as special as Olympians
Help those living with disabilities feel like they are a part of the community
People living with disabilities can have a very normal lifestyle
Sports can make you feel better and happier
Stop people from bullying those living with disabilities
Provide more care for young people living with disabilities
Create more accessible locations within the community
There are so many take-aways from this year’s winter Paralympics. The main thing I learnt is that a person living with a disability can achieve great goals and live successful lives just like any other young person in the community and the world.
