You're a really inspirational person. I will never understand why a lot of people ignore people with disabilities. This is a real eye-opener into the world of another person. Congrats. Wendy. :)

I find it hard to believe guys dont talk to her. I think shes got a great personality and shes cute. I think theyre missing out, not her. What an inspiration

Ashley, you take the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same way that you do and I have similar abilities, tho with a different disability. Love this video and I hope to make something in the future about my own life. Thank you!

Thanks for the video but I wish you didn't see people as confined to their wheelchairs. It says first of all that wheelchairs are bad and the most important thing about some one. I use a wheelchair, it's one small part of me. I certainly related to some of what was said, using a door opener and having people walk through, man that's annoying. Thanks again for making the video, I was glad to see it.
