What makes you laugh?
Yvonne Ganzhorn: Good sarcastic humor, people who don't take themselves too seriously and can laugh about themselves.
What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?
Yvonne Ganzhorn: I've always wanted to learn a real dance choreography like Justin and Co. but somehow that never happened, or I didn't have the courage.
Which person has influenced you most? And why?
Yvonne Ganzhorn: There are a lot of people who have influenced me so far. My friends or my art teacher from school.
But most of all my mother and sister had an impact on me. Both have always shown me a positive approach to life. To not always take myself and life itself so seriously. There was never a point of pity from either of them regarding my disability and that was a good thing. Never give up and always try everything is therefore our motto. No matter what others say!!!!
You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?
Yvonne Ganzhorn: I would spend an appropriate amount of money for a nationwide inclusion package. This means to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The theory sounds very good, but in Germany we have still a long way to go from practical implementation in day-care centres, schools, universities or authorities. There should also be greater financial support for the compensation of disadvantages.
