For International Day of People with Disabilities, we’ve highlighted the experiences of some of our amazing students with disabilities. A huge thank you to Ruby, Gemma, Skye and Scarlett for sharing their experiences, which you can read in full here: http://exeterguild.org/idpwd (1/5)
"There are also days where I can get around without my aids and this is why my disability is referred to as a “invisible illness”. - Ruby ( @ExeWelfare)
"My key message to others struggling is that you are not alone. Reaching out for support isn’t a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength." - Gemma
"Disability has made my life completely different than what I thought it would be, but it's also opened me up to a whole world I knew very little about and I've met some wonderful people because of it." - Skye
"Although it has been a harrowing journey, my experiences have made me more empathetic, understanding and positive compared to what I would have been like if nothing had ever happened to me." - Scarlett
"I was only diagnosed with my disability a few months before coming to University, but since being here the support I’ve had from those around me and the University generally has been incredible and it’s really helped me to be my true self!" - another student story from Lucie
