When I look around campus, I see that normally wouldn't cross my mind or occur to be things that would socially construct disability. As I left class Wednesday, I noticed more and more things that made me realize how big of an issue this is/can become. One thing in particular I noticed that I had previously never thought about, was the handicapped door operators around campus. Day by day maybe when i'm with my friends I would use them, or maybe i was feeling lay, whatever the reason I had never considered that people actually need to use these and might be seen as different, or maybe even made fun of. I feel like this shows he issue at hand, people who actually NEED those door operators, and i actually felt a bit disappointed with myself.
