Overcoming Trauma: My Journey at Cornell University [The CJ Moneyway Show]
In this interview excerpt, the interviewee describes the difficulties of returning to Cornell University after a traumatic incident, emphasizing the lack of accessibility on campus roughly twenty years before the Americans with Disabilities Act. The hilly terrain and ubiquitous steps required the interviewee to be physically assisted—either pulled up or bounced down nearly a hundred steps—just to attend the first day of classes. The interviewee credits a supportive family, close friends, compassionate classmates, and personal care attendants for making this possible, highlighting the critical role of community and personal assistance in overcoming both physical and emotional barriers.
