For this assignment, we were asked to work with a partner in manuveuring around Daggy and Carpenter Hall in a wheel chair. The purpose of this was to get a different perspective on what everyday struggles someone in wheel chair faces. I liked doing this activity becayse it really opened my eyes to viewing spaces in a new way. For example, the large hill that my fellow classmates and I walk up everyday, is steep and difficult to walk up and going in a wheel chair was much worse. Lots of the spaces we went to were not wheel chair accessible and much of the places that were wheelchair accessible, they were not very generous with the space given and barely met minimum requirements. After doing this assignment, I will definately take ADA requirements seriously because I know if I ever had a disability, I would want the same accessible experience as everyone else.
