The access experience was physically exhausting, yet enlightening, whilst being extremely frustrating at the same time. It was physically exhausting due to the lack of upper body strength I had, enlightening because the majority of people offered to help me get to where I needed to be, and frustrating due to the amount of ice on the ramps, as well as the number of people. the doors were barely wide enough for the wheelchair. In addition to the physical and emotional aspects of this project, I encountered many obstacles, making the experience even more difficult. I was previously aware of my lack of upper body strength, but this experience highlighted my weakness. The wheelchair should not fool anyone, to successfully maneuver yourself requires a certain amount of upper body strength, especially with all the ice. Within the first few hours, my thumbs, arms, and armpits started to hurt. With the pain I was feeling, it was tempting to ask my peers for help, but I know that people who use a wheelchair don't always have someone to help them, so I decided to harden myself. It may have taken me longer to get up the ramps or move along the various sidewalks, but at least I was able to fully experience it. Emotionally, the experience was enlightening and frustrating. I met several people who were willing to drop what they were doing to help me get to where I needed to be. More than half of the people who offered to help me were complete strangers, which was really refreshing to see. Wherever I was, whether in the dining hall, on the sidewalks, in the dormitory, or in class, someone always offered their assistants. It was sometimes tempting to accept their help even though I didn't need it, but I decided it was best to go through... middle of paper... the toilet and shower had a seat that could easily be folded down. Each bathroom at Scott Hall has a lever handle, metal bars, a door that opens, and a seat that can fold out, but the doors were not as wide as the one I used. At first I thought it was a disabled bathroom, but when looking for the logo I didn't see one. Whether it was supposed to have the disability logo or not, this bathroom was one of the few things I found to be greatly accessible. Although the access experience challenged me both physically and mentally, I am glad I had the opportunity to experience it. Experience has taught me that UMF is not as accessible as it could be, but the majority of students and faculty here are more than willing to help their peers. While this doesn't make up for the inaccessibility of the campus, it does make the experience less stressful..
