Hełlo, I'm Gbubemi Adeneye (Ms.), an amputee & Yes, I have lived all my life being physically different, so i guess I can confidently say I'm in a great position to shine some light on this particular topic. I actually want to correct some rumors (let's say ignorance) most people think /belief about 'society' so tagged "disabled" "handicapped" "special" "physically challenged" to name a few... The following "incorrect vs. reality" assumptions the society has often triggered by fear, lack of understanding and/or prejudice. Promoting negative images of disability is a form of discrimination because it creates barriers to full self realization for people living with disabilities.

*A PERSON’S DISABILITY DEFINES WHO THEY ARE AS AN INDIVIDUAL :- People often label individuals with a disability according to their conditions or limitations. It is common in our daily lives to hear references such as “the disabled (which is also the term I have to borrow for a better understanding)", "the handicapped", "the amputee", "the blind" (to name a few) and this label(s) can make an individua l focus on his/her disability(ies), hindering his/her self confidence or ability(ies).

*PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE SICK AND IN CONSTANT PAIN :- I understand that this ideology is mostly conceived out of care (love) but this in most cases can start or cause phantom pain / restriction in the life of the recipient and which may some times be the cause of the inability to function properly and not the person's disability. People with disabilities are like people without disabilities just as people get sick on occasion or sometimes may be in pain so it is for people with disabilities.

*PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TYPICALLY DO NOT SUFFER OR EXPERIENCE PAIN DUE TO THEIR CONDITION :- Like I said above, people with disabilities most times are in pain like every other person may be but this should not be set as an embargo/limitation/restriction over their capabilities. However, whenever they function well in their own capability, mojority of people tend to take their effort for granted. ( Note : It takes some extra energy for the disabled to get things done no matter how easy they make it look.)

*PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE BRAVE, COURAGEOUS AND INSPIRATIONAL FOR LIVING WITH THEIR DISABILITY :- Now this is real talk, people with disabilities are often portrayed as superhuman or courageous as they triumph over adversity. As a result of this idea, in some occasions (mostly in family settings), people expect too much from people living with disabilities and people living with disabilities tries to do everything to impress, which often times end up with taking a backtoil on their mental activities especially when they find themselves not living up to expectations. ( Note : living a successful life as a disabled person is just as living a successful life as an able person). George Covington, a writer who is blind, has said, “We’re seen as inspirational, and inspiration sells like hotcakes. My disability isn’t a burden: having to be so damned inspirational is.”

*PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE SPECIAL AND SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY :- The ideology of "special" to a person is accepting the fact that you cannnot measure up and this serves as a series of limitations. Level of performance for success should not be underestimated with the “special” associated with people with disabilities. To those living with disablity(ies), disability is not a personal tragedy and you must not entertain pity of any kind.

*PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE NEEDY :- Just like any one may have difficulty doing some things and may require assistance, so, people with disabilities may require help on occasions. Disability doesn't mean dependency or having a poor quality of the things of life. Cultivate the habit of always asking (which is always a good strategy and not assume) people with disabilities whether they need your assistance (Just ask!)
Hence, there are more to come but please kindly take your time to check (even when your actions or reactions are out of pure care & love) if you are improving or causing detriments to lives of the disabled persons around you.

Op u forget to add 1
Don't act like you know more than your lecturer.. ..

lol

Having first class in UNIVERSITY is something anybody who is determined and focused can achieve though its not easy to come by. To make first class, just make "A(s)" your best friend, "B(s)" your good friend and "C (s)" your enemy. A student that has an average of 9 courses to do per semester to make first class should always have atleast 8A(s) and 1B or at worst 7A(s) and 2B(s) per semester. Always keep your GP as high as 4.6 - 4.85. We have seen people that made first class over the years and we have studied their life styles, their ways of life and below are some of the 10 things you should not fail to do or possess if really you want to make first class in UNIVERSITY.

1. BE PRAYERFUL: You don't need to be told that devil never likes anything good, that the devil is always out to distract and cause havoc and to make sure that some people's dream are not achieved. The only way to avoid and conquer this is by being prayerful. 1 TH 5:17 says "Pray without ceasing".

2. DONT MISS CLASSES: No matter how brilliant you think you are; if you miss class often, you will likely not to make first class even when you have scores that will give A in your exams or quiz. This is because, there are certain things said in the class that always appear in the exam and its not in the handouts or texts. Besides, there are lecturers that take attendance serious that they even give marks for attendance. Missing such marks will always have some effects in your results.

3. AVOID GIRLS/GUYS: Most of the people that made first class we know have little or nothing to do with the opposite sex. I didn't say you shouldn't have friends of opposite sex as friends; you can have just friends, friends from church and so on but don't get emotional attached with them, if possible..have no boy friend or girl friend if you can. This is because there a lot of distractions involved in relationships and a lot of emotional trauma when someone you love hurts you. This can have a great effect on you if it happens which is certain to happen.

4. DONT FREQUENT PARTIES: You can attend parties maybe once in a while or get-together party but don't do this often or frequently.

5. CHURCH: Spend good time in the church, always attend fellowships more than parties, sorround your self with people that have that churchy spirit.

6. MORE TIME FOR YOUR BOOKS: Make reading your hobby, have more time for your books than every other time such as beauty, talking, hanging out, arguments, etc. Read everyday and if possible..have timetable how and when you read and maintain it.

7. READ BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE TAUGHT IN THE CLASS: Don't just rely only on what you are taught in the class, read beyond that, make researches, read as if you want to grab everything a topic says, read deeply and know what every topic is all about and not just for exam only.

8. DON'T NEGLECT ASSIGNMENTS: There are some lecturers that are good in giving assignments and they don't play with it. Some assignments carry 15%, 20% or 25% of your assessment depending on the lecturer and the nature of the course. Missing such marks will have a great effect on your total score hence your GP.

9. HAVE A TARGET: Your target should always be 4.9 and not 4.6. With such target, you will always be focused to maintain it. Set this as your target and do all you can to make sure your GP falls to that or slightly below it.

10. ALWAYS SEE PAST QUESTIONS: Many people always fail questions because they don't know the pattern at which questions on such courses usually come. Some may think the questions will be Objective while its theory and vice versa. So try and know how questions are asked on such courses by checking past questions for different recent years on that course.

Do Your Best And Let God Do The Rest!
