Eliza – That's how she rolls

02/09/2020

Everyone benefits from accessibility – and that is precisely why, as Commissioner for the Disabled, Eliza's first official act would be to tackle this issue. What is also close to her heart, which author has especially influenced her  and how she otherwise rolls, she tells on REHACARE.com.

Name: Eliza
Age: 25
City: Hesse, Germany
Impairment: I have a physical disability (muscle atrophy).

What makes you laugh?

Eliza: Quick-wittedness – I like that!

What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?

Eliza: Sooner or later I always dare. I see this as a personal challenge.

Which person has influenced you most? And why?

Eliza: Brené Brown was one of the first authors to awaken in me the feeling of being understood. Especially in topics like vulnerability, courage and growth.

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

Eliza: Since everyone benefits from accessibility, my action would be to specifically promote reconstruction projects.

What is especially near and dear to you?

Eliza: To be there for my friends, my many plants and a job that fulfills me.

I would like to be ...

Eliza: foolish!

Which question would you like to be answered the most?

Eliza: I am learning to deal with uncertainty and to endure not having an answer for once. Utopia is so close and yet so far away.

What I still wanted to say...

Eliza: The slow one without an aim is even slower than the fast one with an aim.
