Giving a voice and a chance Emily Flores, 15, living in Texas, US, has a muscle disease( 肌肉疾病 ). She has to use a wheelchair( 轮椅 ). People sometimes look down on her. Even her English teacher once questioned her writing abilities. The larger problem that she faces is the poor image( 形象 ) that disabled people like her have on TV. For example, ABC ’ s speechless is a TV show about a disabled person. It shows the humor of the disability, but not the person ’ s personality. In 2018, Flores decided to fight back. She made a magazine--Cr*pple Magazine--with other 20 young disabled people. Flores wanted to bring teens together through writing. The magazine covers many topics, such as fashion and women ’ s rights. “ I was tired of being voiceless( 沉默的 ). I know my experience is meaningful. I think it ’ s so powerful when you ’ re giving chances to teens, ” Flores said.
