Aaron Pang: 我在旧金山的 BART 通勤回家时遇到了很多挑战。首先,电梯和扶梯都坏了,我不得不拄着拐杖走下三层楼梯,这让我很恼火。下楼时,我发现高峰时段没有人超过我,他们试图对我表示体谅,但他们的体谅造成了拥堵,这让我感受到了压力。我本想提醒他们可以超过我,但又不想显得不体谅他们的体谅。结果,在站台上,我的腿绊倒了,我摔倒了。我意识到,拥有全职工作或按时大学毕业并不能真正考验你的独立性,就像在地铁上通勤一样。BART 有为像我这样的人预留的座位,我可以玩一个叫做“无障碍座位争夺战”的游戏。在公共场合,我需要在别人如何看待我、我如何看待自己以及我实际能做什么之间取得平衡。有时人们甚至没有注意到我需要帮助,而有时人们会注意到我的残疾。我很生气,因为我已经做了七年的理疗,但我也看了很多电视,我本可以把这些时间花在腿上。我想知道我是否没有天赋或不够努力,我想知道我的残疾是否严重到可以坐下,或者我是否足够坚强可以站立。现在,我开始开车上班,怀念通勤时的人。我邀请了我的医疗团队来看我的演出,这感觉很好,让他们了解他们参与的经历。
