1. You are at the airport with your family, preparing to board a plane to your
favorite vacation destination. The flight attendants prepare to begin calling
passengers for boarding. Prior to calling for passengers in first class, the
attendant asks for any passengers with disabilities to come forward for
priority boarding. A couple, a young man and woman in their mid-to-late
twenties, begins moving toward desk; the man is carrying all of their carry-on
baggage, and they are smiling and laughing, with no visible complications with
movement in either of them, and neither has any kind of visible mobility device
(e.g., a cane, crutches, wheelchair, etc.). As they move past you, the woman in
line behind you sighs loudly.You turn to look at her, and she is glancing around
at your fellow passengers, visibly annoyed. She loudly proclaims, "This is
unbelievable! Look at them!" She notices you looking at her, catches your eye,
and looks at you expectantly. "You know what I mean, right?" she says to you,
gesturing toward the couple, who have overheard this and look visibly upset.
1. What would you do in this situation?
2. To use accessible parking spaces, people with disabilities must display a
special placard, or have special license plates on their car. Do you think similar
documentation should be required for accommodations like the one posited
in the scenario (priority boarding on a flight)? Why or why not?
3. Can you describe a time when you intervened on behalf of someone else in
a public space?: 1- I would want to do is gather some information and try to remain
non-judgmental. it would not be appropriate to ask them to disclose any disability
status. I'd try to speak with the upset woman in a non-confrontational manner to
clarify what exactly she was finding so frustrating. If she tells me that she was
assuming that the couple were actually able-bodied I would try to acknowledge her
feelings by actively listening. Then I would gently say "I appreciate your frustration
and your understanding of the situation. However, I wonder if you are familiar with
the term 'invisible disability'. This can be confusing for those unfamiliar with such
conditions.
2- Disability parking passes are a useful way of ensuring public spaces are acces-

sible to people with conditions that limit their mobility. while many people use cars
and parking facilities every day most people only fly a few times a year. Obtaining
a parking pass requires an appointment with a physician, it may be difficult for
someone to complete all of the necessary steps in time for their flight, especially
as they are disabled. Allowing priority boarding takes a very small amount of time

and it is a very small inconvenience.
3- One day on my way to school I noticed a young woman walking quickly with a
young man following behind her. The man was yelling at the woman, "Hey! I'm just
trying to say hello to you. She looked visibly upset. I wanted to help her, so I put on
a warm smile and walked over to her. "Oh, there you are," I said, "I've been trying
to find you!" She looked confused, but began walking toward me. As she got close,
I whispered, "It's okay. Tell me where you're going and I'll walk with you." As we
walked , she told me that man was following her for 20 minutes. I walked her to her
building, and then went back about my day. Though I myself am a woman, and have
experienced similar, this was the first time I was able to help someone else through
a situation like this.
2. From time to time, we all make decisions we regret. Whether bound by
less-than-ideal circumstances, lack of resources to make the best decision,
or a lack of foresight or maturity, everyone has made a bad or unfortunate
decision in their lives.
1- Can you reflect on a decision you've made that you later regretted?
2. How can one move past, or learn from, such regret?
3. Did you ever make what seemed like a bad decision, only to later learn that
it was still the best decision at the time?: 1- Worrying too much about what other
people thought of me - trying to uphold what I thought were their beliefs not mine.
2. In my opinion regret is a negative word. When I do something and it doesn't go well,
instead of having a regret, I try to look at the brighter side, that is, lessons learnt. At
the end of each day, I mentally review and analyze day's events and conversations
like what didn't go well, what were mistakes I made and what can be done now.
Lessons learnt might help to avoid such mistakes in future.
3. Yes, there are always things that could have been done differently. I tend not to
regret those choices though, because I'm careful to make the best decision I can at
the time. Nobody is perfect and things will sometimes go wrong, so there's not point

wallowing in regret when you could be doing something positive to fix the problem.
3. What is the greatest challenge you have ever faced?
what did you do to overcome that challenge?: When I moved to America by
myself to follow my dreams without knowing the language or anyone here. I was
born and raised in a lower-middle-class family in Tehran, Iran. Neither of my parents
