My Presentation at Beacon House School (Gulshan Branch)


The Move Workshops which are organized by Family Educational Services Foundation took place at Beacon House School (Gulshan-e-Iqbal Branch) and at the (North Nazimabad Branch) last week. After a gap of 3 to 4 months I was giving a presentation and was looking forward to it.
Let me talk about my experience at the Gulshan-e-Iqbal Branch first. It took place on the 10th of August 2010 in the afternoon. This time round there was a change in my presentation. After giving a brief introduction of mine, I was involved in a Question and Answer session which I found very interesting.

Interesting Questions
The questions were in regards to how I got used to living in a wheelchair, and the difficulties and challenges faced by me. The questions also included as to how this disease has had a positive effect on my life. They questioned about how I see my future and in conclusion as to how I would like to change the country to better accommodate people with disabilities. It really was a very interesting session and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Attentive Students
I found the students to be very attentively listening to the interview, which was visible by the interesting questions they asked. They asked me as to how I feel when someone is rude to me and who supported me the most during my struggle. I do like students who ask questions, which gives you the impression that they really are interested in what you are saying. Majority of the students at the end of my session came to me thanked me and shook my hand. At the end the students took a group photograph with me.
