I am a student in an interior design course here at Brigham Young University. One of my assignments was to identify the accessibility of a couple of the buildings on campus. My interior design professor is Sister Nielson. She has been a professional interior designer for many years. She agrees that there are several buildings on campus that are not accessible. In my interior design class, Sister Nielson taught us the criteria for what does make a building accessible--we also learned what does not make a building accessible. Then we had to walk around and evaluate campus. I found the newly remodeled buildings at BYU were up to par with their accessibility. Some of these buildings were the Wilkinson Center, the Jesse Knight Building, and the President Hinckley Memorial Building. Many of the buildings on campus are not accommodating to people with motion impairments. Some of these buildings are the MARB and the Maeser building. It is crucial that Brigham Young University begins to prioritize and redesign these buildings so that they are accessible for all people. No one ever anticipates getting into an accident that can change their life forever. Now, is a great time for BYU to set the standard for other Universities and make our campus one that anyone, even someone in a wheel chair, could attend.
Thats How We Role
How Do You Maneuver Around Campus: Campus Life in a Wheel Chair

I like the title: "That's how we role" (but change it to roll.) It's creative and has multiple meanings. The maneuvering around campus title is too long; you'll lose your reader. The one about not knowing if you'll walk tomorrow doesn't seem to capture your paragraph.
You established a great kairos. To establish a better ethos I would share a story to illustrate the necessity and make the reader want to act on your words.
You did a great job by establishing your ethos! Using your teacher's professional opinion was a really good addition to your blog. I liked your first title: "Today you can walk: what about tomorrow?" It caught my eye and I immediately wanted to read your blog. You also established some good kairos from the beginning by saying that you are a student in an interior design course here at BYU. Nice job!
