Some people in the United States, as everywhere else in the world, have serious physical and mental disabilities. Some are blind or deaf. Others cannot move around without a wheelchair. Still others may have low intelligence or suffer from a mental illness.

Until recently, people with major disabilities couldn’t find jobs. Employers just didn’t want to hire them. (--21--), most disabled people were unemployed and had to rely on government aid.

About ten years ago, however, a new law made it illegal to deny jobs to people just because they were handicapped. The law also required companies to make special arrangements for them. For example, they had to adjust desks for people in wheelchairs and install talking computers for blind people.

At first, employers grumbled about the law. But they had no choice. And once they started hiring disabled people, they discovered what eager and excellent workers they were. Thousands of the disabled now have good jobs. They’re delighted to earn a salary and do something useful instead of sitting home idle all day.

[Quoted from US Life Today II, 2000. Yumi Press]

Sara

“As a child, we had a French exchange student, Marie, living with us for 6 months. She was so kind and I was happy, because I now had an older sister. She used to help me with my homework and sometimes would teach me French. I was not a very outgoing child, but Marie changed me with her bright personality. In high school, I joined many clubs and worked part-time at a local bakery. Now, I am a university student

majoring in French. I am planning to study in France next year, so I hope I can see Marie again.”

Chris

“Since my older sister and I were elementary school students, we lived in Spain. My father worked as an engineer. My mother worked part-time at a local bakery. We returned to California about 6 months ago. Now, I’m a high school student. I want to make new friends, but it’s difficult for me because of my English. I didn’t join any clubs, but I sometimes help at the Spanish club events, and I might join the soccer team. My sister is still in Spain, because she is a university student. She enjoys learning languages, so she is currently studying French.”

Marta

“We moved to Chile from California when I was seven years old. It was a chance for my parents to return to their native country. I love to do many things, and I’m a very active high school student. I have been on my high school’s swimming team for the past three years. This is my final year of high school, and I will go back to California for

university. I need to study more English, because we only speak Spanish. I’m excited to join many different activities and clubs. I also love swimming, so I hope to continue it in university.”

Blake

“I just moved to New York this month. I was born in Madrid, Spain but have lived in France since I was eight. My father was a baker in France, but decided to open his own bakery in New York City. I’m fluent in French and English, because I lived in France and my mother is American. Languages are easy for me to pick up, but I should practice

Spanish, because I’m starting to forget it. I’m excited to be in New York, and I plan to do many things. This year will be my first year of high school, so I want to join the soccer team.”
