thanks for watching. my 1st boss like moses sewing machine. where i come from women are almost by this ocean for. something as simple as learning how to write them by side isn't. since i was a little girl i want to talk about spies i belong to my home but it took me me as the minutes might have. finally been gave up and went on by me on my side of the returns because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for goes than writing advice as knowledge i want to reach out to those women back home who are

bones by the juneteenth and social norms and informed him of old dead basic rights my name is dave out of the hook and i wore jeans i'm. not going. this is joining. the line.

he was told he would never be able to walk the. since he suffered from istream muscle spasms despite all the odds he wants to be accepted as an athlete and a sports. we call that. he relies on a handful of carers 16 hours a day. johnny is in a constant fight against bureaucratic hurdles and exclusions sports is his way out and. when it comes to mind body and my disability sports is my elixir of life without it i wouldn't be able to lead an independent life because i wouldn't be able to move properly and that's why sports is my medicine my only form of medicine and i wanted to stay that way so i was also.

fortunate how i came to study sports is actually a funny story i wanted to study medicine to go into my own field of treatment but couldn't do that because of the practical year and then my former physiotherapist said to me why don't you study something where you can implement your training sports my 1st reaction was he's off his rocker so i asked are you going to run the 3000 meters for me in the out to 2 test or what if i think i told the last minute. i have the severest form of this disability with a strong focus on my legs because of this i normally shouldn't be able to sit or even walk by myself. today johnny's usual swimming pool is occupied. that's why he's had to settle for the cold base.

the cold water can be problematic and makes his muscles cramp even more. to keep warm he has the power through from the start. he can only rely on his arms while swimming because his legs are partially paralyzed. johnny has a rigorous training regime on average he spends 4 hours per day working out. johnny doesn't just swim he's a bit of a daredevil and does tons of crazy stuff. as

well i actually got the idea of jumping off the 7 and a half meter tower by chance. as i was so i was angry that people don't treat me like a normal person even people that have known me for a long time. and of course some things make me nervous but am i really scared something could happen but i could also just fall over on the street and hit my head. if i think about my fears no i'm not scared. so i just try things out and see

whether they work out or not and then. after swimming johnny has a quick chat with one of his favorite professors to discuss his studies and future of politico. and i gotta provides a woot. these evils meet their hands now after the event kind of other than of a moment when a mathematician would only have been thrilled when we could. have an answer is that if he has. seen the. phone and says he doesn't. want even the alpha challenge. johnny is not that optimistic about the situation disabled people face at jeremy universities when given some. sometimes i get the feeling that for sports

universities the most important thing is the performance of the athletes and the way you are perceived there relates to the amount of medals you win and that's why i have the feeling a wheelchair doesn't fit into the image of a sports university. when confronted with johnny's views the head of the university's disability office has a different opinion. but i want to say you know i deeply regret and strongly disagree with this statement of no one from my perspective it was never important if someone brings back a medal or not. if we take a look at the 20 to 30 students at our university with challenging disabilities i don't think any of them will say i'm only welcome here because i might win a medal some day. i think they'll say we are allowed to study here like everyone else and we're judged by the same criteria we are being treated equally. like. they have to behave. one of the most challenging

exercises for johnny is walking. a few times a week he trains for one hour without crutches to cast the imbalances in his body has developed his own methods. this would it statistically it's ok when it gets tight and bit by bit and hold my back straight so i can walk upright on the treadmill open up until. my. johnny doesn't see. him self as a regular part of the student body. he believes that sometimes the other students have problems treating him like

a normal person he feels left out. they gave me probably. the line of thinking i'm quite independent yet still i am often left behind along with all the training i need to do it's a key reason that makes me really sad and it's mentally quite tough to process. the steps and i will think especially if it's just you and your care is for so many years. my advantage is that i have my sport and that is my outlet for my frustration my maintain and. journey also struggles with everyday situations even in germany being in a wheelchair means encountering many obstacles.

i'm only in those money. when done enough organisms to undergo one part. of. what may seem like a minor inconvenience can amount to a detour of several stops and a huge waste of time. well. done the ability to have. to live a more or less independent life journey requires physical assistance but around the clock care is expensive. normally the states or thirty's pay for the last 5 months johnny hasn't received any money had to finance everything out of his own pocket almost 40000 years. this is.

3 different states authorities are fighting over who is financially responsible for johnny they. fight to live a self-determined life yet in the end i am the one suffering along with my care as i have to pay in advance and no one cares how i do it. when asked to comment on the delay the council now responsible for johnny cited procedural errors in question his monthly budget. despite all the odds johnny continues to fight against his own body and all the obstacles in his way. to counter the inward rotation of his left knee jonny need someone to help and coordinate his movements. his partially paralyzed legs need weights to feel the impact of his feet on the treadmill. because of

the muscle tension in his body everything he does burns at least twice as many calories as a person with out his disability shock. journey is an exception most people with this condition could even dream of doing the things he does without his training he would not be able to walk swim or do any other things so sports remains his only therapy. either i don't train at all in my physique deteriorates to such an extent that i drop into the category i'm supposed to belong in meaning everything will be paid for even the 20 meter cab ride to university or i do everything in my power to improve my physique and in theory save the government some money instead they reduce my installments even though i only want to live a self-determined life. if johnny loses

his fitness he loses his freedom. he has more plans and goals he wants to fulfill he wants to start his own business designing sportswear and become a motivational coach. he wants to climb sugarloaf mountain in brazil and if surfing ever becomes a paralympic sport he'll do anything to take part. so there is no impulse. if it doesn't work i need to find a way it takes a long time before i accept something doesn't work i think you.

check in takes this special trip. to do this show is not just the city trip but also a journey through jewish history spire warms the minds are considered the cream of the european judaism. jewish life has shaped these 3 cities for more than 900 years and i want to know what remains of it. next on t w. if they're attacked they fight back. it seems a rather unfair fight glance against damage or other dangers. but the muslims committed themselves to remarkably well. i'll give a good. moral to egypt. because 30 minutes to. the global
