Because of a disability, a child may struggle to establish friendships leading them to feel isolated from their peers, this results in the child’s self-confidence being affected and the child struggling to manage their own feelings. As a result this can lead to feelings of depression, self-harm and mental health problems.

Overpopulation and economic struggles in Britain allowed people to start anew and birth things like democracy in lands far from home. English was established as the common language, which broke communication barriers and opened the door for trade and commerce. Railroads and new technologies were established in Africa, who was stuck in the stone ages.

When I was born, I had a stroke which caused the loss of fine motor control in my right arm and foot. Due to my disability, my family moved from Florida to Virginia to Georgia in a span of two years. This was mainly due to the constant appointments with medical specialists. Despite the countless appointments, the doctors didn’t know how bad my condition would be. Many said that only time would tell and even more said I would probably not be able to walk unassisted for the rest of my life. During my early childhood, my parents prayed a lot and I was baptized. I then spent my entire childhood in physical, occupational, and speech therapy. While in Georgia (age 2-8), I didn’t really see myself as different. None of my friends asked me about my disability so I thought nothing of it. I went to Sunday school every Sunday and believed in God. I saw my life like everybody else.
