When Shopping with a Paratriathlete

Melissa Stockwell, a US veteran and person with a prosthetic leg, gave an inspiring as well as practical speech at the 2013 Adler Abilities Symposium in Chicago, sponsored by the Adler School of Professional Psychology. This is not an exact quote but she said something to this effect;

"When I go to the store, I don't need people congratulating me for getting out of my house to buy groceries. I'm a champion paratriathlete. You can congratulate me for that!"
