people Big world', but it's an interesting look at people and the many
difference that they have to endure in their lives. It's not often that
I encounter a Little Person, many of you may be able to say that same
thing as well. The many aspects of their lives are much the same as
anyone else's, except that the world is not built around their physical
stature. Now that's a huge challenge in it's self, because many of the
things most of us do daily, may be more of a task for them to complete.
There's so many interesting things that they most go through to live
their lives. Many of their issues include their many medical problems
that comes with being of small stature. Now these people are like
everyone else, they don't count their many medical issues and their
small stature as a handicap despite how difficult they may be. It's
amazing how the world is set up to accomidate people of 'average'
everything!! I mean seriously, average height and weights are figured
out for us, but people don't fit into these molds which society has laid
out for us these perfect cookie cutter shapes in which many of us don't
fit. See there in lies the rub! People are pre-judged using these
actualizations of what a person should look like, how tall, what they
should weigh, and it leaves no room for any wiggle, I mean a person 20
pounds over their weight sends doctors into panic mood, a person 50
pounds over weight is called morbidly obese. There are places where
people in wheel chairs are unable to gain access, their are entire
stores that sell cloths that many people can't even fit into, hell their
are still pools which won't allow Black children to swim (Valley Swim
Club in Hunting Valley, PA u suck). In this day in age their so much
still to be learned about people and their many differences. This show
just opens your eyes to an entirely different aspect of life in which is
rarely seen by most.
I guess for all the people outside of this cookie cutter shape WE are
all Little People in a Big World!!
