Victoria is a young woman who is confined to a wheelchair. She has a disease called Muscular Atrophy Type 2. It is a disease that starts at a young age 12-18 months and could possibly elevate to paralysis. For Victoria she will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, but like all people she has a life that she wants to live, as an actress in Los Angeles. She tells of the memories that she has when she was a child and could walk. She remembers when her legs began to give out and when her father finally left because he couldn’t be the father of a child that wasn’t perfect. She has an honest conversation about how she has been treated in her life. How people treat her and through humor and honesty we are able to experience these moments in her life. But she pressed on and fell in love with theatre and decided to make it her life. It wasn’t until Los Angeles that she realizes that no one will ever see past her wheelchair. Her emotions get the best of her when she is called in for a final audition and is told that the reason she is not getting the role is because of her wheelchair. She takes all of her emotion from years of being stared at, talked down to and left behind by her father and before she leaves the stage she speaks her mind. It is a life changing moment for a person in her situation to share. She is just a person that is talented and happens to be in a wheelchair, but like most people with disabilities it is not what defines them or makes them who they are.
