What a great way to learn more about disability. I really appreciated the collection and diversity of stories in this. The various topics that were discussed all while falling under the umbrella of disability brings to light just how widespread disability is and how important disability programs are. The stories were short enough that they went by quickly and there was something new to be gleaned in each one. The diversity of storytelling was also cool; from a eulogy to a TED talk to written essays, I think this did a great job of keeping the reader interested and making each essay unique.
