By Shubham Singh – Disability Representative Candidate
Hello, I am Shubham Singh. I am studying in 1st year, BSc. To begin with, I would like to share my father’s teaching to me that has stuck with me, he said: “Don’t let your disability stop your success, make your disability your strength”. I hope I will be running to be your next Students with Disabilities Officer. For Context, I have hearing impairment with 100% deafness by birth. I don’t let this break my spirit no matter what.
However, Despite this range, I am very much aware of broad of disability, which many of them I have experience dealing with it.
- My own experiences alone are not enough to adequately represent the range of disabled students at ARU.
- I will first of all endeavour to hold feedback sessions and drop-in a couple of times a month in order to find out if there are any issues which need addressing that I am not aware of.
- Engagement will be one of the priorities for me.
- I also intend to use my communications, marketing experience and working in student media to ensure that my work.
- Campaigns and my assistance is advertised to as many of the disabled student population as possible and hopefully, some of them will work/help me to ensure everything is fine.
Ever since before I came to University, I have been a very active and passionate disability student. I am hoping to start afresh and new adventure but I am glad I did.
Thank you for reading my manifesto, and please VOTE for me.
