Tennis is a great activity for many people. It can be good exercise. It is also a lot of fun. A disability does not have to stop you from playing. For example, wheelchair tennis is played at many clubs. It is even played at the Olympics. Many people with a vision impairment also play tennis. Different balls are used to make them easier to hit.

Many people with a disability can get a special payment from Centrelink. It is called the Mobility Allowance. It is for people who cannot use public transport by themselves. But you can only get the payment if you are working or in training. I think anyone who cannot use public transport by themselves should get the payment. I have to use taxis every day to attend medical appointments and keep myself healthy.

I worked very hard to get into medical school. But after I started I got behind in my work. I ended up failing an important exam. I had to work extra hard to catch up. I now have a new goal. I want to learn more about the impact of stress on people's lives. I want to teach people that we cannot reach our goals if work makes us sick.

My disability affects my mobility. I use a walking stick to help me walk. Walking up stairs can be slow and painful. Unfortunately, many buildings have stairs. I had a meeting at a big library recently. There were a lot of stairs I had to climb. I asked about using an elevator instead. But it was an even longer trip to walk to the elevator. I should have just used the stairs.
