And I don't need panic because sometimes it's just in my neighborhood is just some new area, then it's a cool way to explore around. And very good way to use GPS, yes. I can trust it, even though it's sometimes unreliable.

Because I believe going to school and just studying is not affected by my mobile disability. But in terms of work, yes as there might be, there might need to have special arrangement before I can work I a certain or specific company.

So I think because I am unable to fit my wheelchair In the bathroom and also it’s slippery la so I have to be extra cautious and need to have certain equipments in the shower before I proceed to bathe la.

So, when I Google search an area to go to, it will show me the best way to go to but, it does not take into account my disability. So, I might end up in a place with no lift or I can't get up.

This is not true. We need more equipment such as, maybe equipments to help us lock our wheels in place, so that we do not move about or cause an accident. So this is one misconception that wheelchair means more space.

So i didn’t sit for my prelims and my PSLE was so bad i didn’t want to go to school, because the classroom was so inaccessible. ]]> 2023-05-25 04:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604268688 medelopejoe https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604275545 journey to sch was the most irritating because if there was a better way, we would have gone but every single better way was too long and there weren’t any accessible public transport during that time, i think it was like the time when the handicap busses was becoming a thing, it was during that tim ]]> 2023-05-25 04:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604275545 medelopejoe https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604281421 the maps don’t have anything that says wheelchair accessible. it is only now when it’s happening but it is still not enough. we still like don’t have enough. it’s either like the slope is too steep so if you’re alone, it’s difficult for you to go up. or if not if you’re coming down then it’s too fast then it gets to dangerous, hit yourself and you know. and you can’t stop yourself because the only thing you can use to stop yourself is your hands and your hands are on the wheels. so how are you going to stop yourself?  Nowadsys i feel very superficial when that’s say it’s very wheelchair accessible and it’s not, it’s actually not. it’s not very practical at all. Just mainly that there’s no wheelchair accessible route.]]> 2023-05-25 05:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604281421 medelopejoe https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604289094  i think it’s very important cause like i said there’s a lot of times when i have encountered during my time was steps and no slopes. like there were no slopes at the side which made it very difficult for like, if you’re suddenly on a wheelchair due to a unforeseen incident, you just got so used to a routine or like a route that’s so suitable for you when you were walking that when you’re on a wheelchair you realise that it’s not as accessible and you get frustrated ]]> 2023-05-25 05:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604289094 medelopejoe https://padlet.com/medelopejoe/ura54tvam2pd1i85/wish/2604305044  
 i feel like what i’ve said earlier like maybe a option for wheelchair accessible routes in like maps. Or maybe let’s say you google it, like there’s something on google like just some app. i can be an extention, it can be an app or anything that shows a more wheelchair accessible route so that people are able to live their life properly.
