After I attended all three Joe Stone’s events that happened on Ithaca College Campus. The first event holds at 5 to 6 pm Wednesdays, Sept 20 on the Old Fieldhouse across the street from main entrance of CHS. This first event of Joe Stone was about Outdoor Gear and Transfer Demos. From this event I learned and saw how difficulties life of disable to be independent on such as to use a toilet, to sit on wheel chair, and to get on a carStone mentioned and demonstrated how tough his life was and is without having proper access to technologies that met his problems. For example, Stone said after I became parahegia and I had arduous time to get a proper chair for my waste products to release. Another, example was that Stone stated having a small wheel that he can attached or unattached on his wheel chair when he need to go up hill or down hill. Stone explained and showed us how much a this little attachable wheel can make easier his life. Stone’s experiences of been a wheel chair person had hard time to run up on hill with their wheel chair because most wheel chairs have only two big side wheels. However, the little attachable wheel can make problem little bit smaller
This event was all about Stone’s life before and after his spinal cord injury how he had lived his life with full of active. After I learned how Stone used to be back in around his 20s. He was same as us who live a normal life with full of dreams and actives. Stone stated, he loves out door adventure and he plays roller skate.
