Now, the world watched as athletes made history experienced heartbreaks and also triumphs on the world stage in Paris. Those stories are even more powerful during the Paralympics is because what makes everyone there incredible is that they've all gone through something life changing, whether they were born with a condition, whether they have fire disability later in life, they went through something that incredibly difficult, incredibly challenging and while they certainly had their downtime, they at some point said, you know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna achieve something I'm gonna continue to, to achieve something and, you know, they made their way to the world stage and disability pride.
