When you think of someone with a disability, what do you think of? Do you feel sorry for them? Do you picture them being limited and unable to live a full life? If so, Emma Gonsalves will change the way you think. She was born with muscle dystrophy, a (sometimes deadly) disorder which is a progressive weakening and waste of muscle tissue. We sit down to discuss how she is striving every day to better herself and never uses her disability as an excuse to sit at home. Emma talks about growing up different than others, countless surgeries, learning to overcome her own self to find self love, and how she wants to help the world and others like her in the future.
