People with Disabilities

In our daily life we see and meet a disable people who constitute an important part of our society. Our duty is to help them and never make them feel like able people are better or they can do things they can’t.

As we saw at the class the woman who attend The X Factor inspired a lot of people even me that do not judged book by their cover in another word do not judged people from they look. When she first showed out to perform the song no one expect that amazing voice from her and she reached the finals in the competition and now she is famous singer. Generally I learned to thanked God for the blessing of health every time and also I learned from all the videos that each person in this world has something special inside him or her and it doesn’t matter if they are able or disable as long as they have passion for learning and progress.
