    In her essay, "On Being a Cripple", Nancy Mairs reflects on her life as a "cripple" due to multiple sclerosis (MS). It is truly admirable how she is able to remain in such a positive attitude despite her unfortunate consequences. Instead of asking for people's sympathy, Mairs wanted herself to be identified as a cripple instead of a handicapped or disabled person. She even believed that her condition helped to enrich her life and define the person she is. It is truly remarkable how she can face such an event with so much courage and confidence. Her essay certainly teaches a lesson about how one should not feel sorry for his/her disadvantages, but rather live it to the fullest…

    The poignant story of Jean-Dominique Bauby’s life begins in December 1995, when he finds himself in a hospital, recovering from a severe coma, both paralyzed from head to toe and unable to speak. Though Bauby’s mind is still intellectually intact, he is diagnosed with what most people call today, “locked-in-syndrome”. Through his powerful words, Bauby, the author and narrator of this story, takes us on a journey filled with pain, loss and courage. I believe that though Bauby did indeed have a disability, he only fit into two of the three definitions categorized as having a disability; these being, function barriers (impairments) , activity barriers (Disabilities) and participation barriers (Handicap).…

    Why Women Smile

    To better understand why we smile we first have to understand the different smiles. Here are different types of smiles, which are often grouped into two categories, Duchenne smiles named after Guillaume Duchenne, a 19th century French doctor who analyzed facial expressions, and “Pan Am smiles”, named after the decommissioned airline’s gesture of welcome (John Harlow, The Smile That Says Where You’re from). The Duchenne smile involves the movement of the zygomaticus major muscle near the mouth, and the orbicularis oculi muscle near the eyes (Paul Ekman, Wallace V. Friesen, and Richard J. Davidson, The Duchenne Smile: Emotional Expression and Brain Physiology: II). It is believed that this smile can only be produced as a result of genuine positive emotion, making it involuntary (Ekman, Friesen,and Davidson). By contrary, the “Pan Am smile” involves only the zygomaticus muscle, and is entirely voluntary, being used more often used to show politeness or mask true emotion (Harlow). This smile only depends on the zygomaticus major corner-tightening muscle and has been known to be called the “Botox smile” because, it leaves the muscles at the corners of the eyes motionless, much like cosmetic treatment (Harlow). This suggests a partial control we have over the kind of smile we show when it comes to realizing that we need to put a smile on our faces for social approval, but little control over smiling about things that…

    This orphanage was run by a group of nuns, who made it their duty to take care of these children, who were abandoned by their families, free of charge. Rooms of this orphanage were filled with children who had physical disabilities, ranging from blindness to having no legs. Even with their disability, these children seemed happier than anybody that I had seen on my whole trip. The joy that these children had, without the “obvious” necessities of our daily lives—cell phones, the internet, and even significant body parts—seemed incomprehensible to me. At the end of my trip I realized that I had taken for granted what seemed necessary to survive and go on for my day-to-day life. Realizing the blessings that I have received and the sacrifices my parents have made for me is something that I remember often and am ever-grateful for. This trip has motivated me to pursue a career in a health-care based engineering. This would involve creating and designing systems and inventions ranging from prosthetic and bionic legs to linear accelerator machines that help treat…
