Not Wheelchair Friendly.

Today in school, I found out the true nature of others, and frankly, I'm appalled. There's a girl at the college, who has cerebral palsey or something along those lines and is in a motorized wheelchair. As I came out of the building where my Anatomy room is, I saw her by the elevator exit. She was calling out for someone to help her with something, but the twenty or so kids that made it out before me, just walked past her, not even looking at her. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I'm not the nicest person in the world, but I'd rather help a disabled person than an able bodied one. I went over and asked her what she needed. All she needed was for someone to pick up a paper she dropped because she couldn't reach it in her wheelchair. Everyone ignored her. She sat there for several minutes waiting for someone to help her reach a piece of paper. It's appalling that people, supposedly educated people, would just ignore her as if she wasn't there when she was obviously in need of some help. I know there are some people at my school who would willing help and most likely have in the past, but when I see my own classmates ignore her, it makes me sick. I hope my kids don't turn out like them. Recently, I've been trying to be a bit of a better person, and it made me feel good to help her. I just wish others had before me.
