- disabilities
Things that you see, image or enjoy.

People:
The people around you or those you might have heard of or seen

The most common category is people, as we often do the same as those around us. For example: I play football because I was influenced by my family and friends. My Dad enjoys football and encouraged me to play from an early age, helping me find a local team and to start playing in an organised format.
