Caroline Nickerson, a 21-year-old UF history and Chinese junior, writes on her homemade button at the Accessibility Fair on Oct. 7, 2015, at the Plaza of the Americas. The fair promoted awareness about disabilities and provided information about UF’s disability resources. On the button, Nickerson wrote, “A flower does not think of the flower next to it - it just blooms.”She said she made the button for a friend who had been comparing himself to others at work.
