I watched Maysoon Zayid’s TED Talk about life with Cerebral
Palsy. Maysoon explained about her early life; her parents were told she would
never walk again. By learning yoga she was able to learn how to stand up and
walk and go through life easier. She had a passion for acting but was never
casted for any high school or college plays because of her disability. She
realized that she wasn’t what casting directors were looking for. She realized
that maybe comedy would open more doors for her so she began pursuing a career
as a comic.
She was a successful comic and comedy helped open many doors
for her. She became a full time contributor on the Keith Olbermann Show.
Maysoon’s story inspired me a lot. She showed me that nothing is impossible no
matter what people say you can’t do.
