While I do not believe we are in John Mayor’s idea of a classless society, I believe we live in a country where there are opportunities for anyone to experience the world in one way or another if we are prepared to put the work in needed to take up these opportunities regardless of our background. Disabled people especially have far more opportunities than ever before.

Throughout my life I have experienced so many wonderful things from around the world before having must money because I was willing to try things and work hard to widen my horizons to make myself hopefully a better person. I always believed you can’t really comment on something unless you tried it at least once and this has always been a part of my attitude.

It is easy for people to stay in their comfort zones but what right do they have to complain in the name of others if they have made no effort to experience everything the world can offer them?
