How my niece respond to me as her aunt with a disability..

My niece means the world to me not only because she is my niece but she amaze me with her understanding towards her aunt with a developmental disability called Cerebral Palsy.
On the day she was born we had a special bound with each other. When we want to the hospital the day after she was born and when me and my dad started leaving she started crying that what made us have a special bound.
I started to think how would I be able to show her that I care about her.
I was not able to lift her up.
Hold her in my arms to comfort her.
But I shown her a different way of being an aunt and loving her...
She learn how to adopt to me.
At a very young age she would step up on my foot plate an hug me and to give me a kiss to show that she love me..
She helps me take off me shoes..ect.. I tell her thank you she says okay.
Going to be sharing more to this blog in the up coming days hope you enjoy it so far.

Life in quarantine as person with a disability is nothing new it's often our reality in some cases. Before this current situation I feel like I once lived in aspect of quarantine in high school for 4 years. It never really hit me to make such connection to the new reality until today. In 2009 the beginning of my high school journey On the first day of school when the school bus came to pick me up the diver inform my mom that the school i was in route to go to was not wheelchair accessible.. I never really talk out this experiences in my speeches but a few weeks ago I was ask to share my journey with college students majoring in education ask me if I had the opportunity of going to same schools as my peers and neighbors if wanted too and that was when the light went of in my head to share this experience. very few of my neighborhood schools are wheelchair accessible so again my parents and I didn't have many choices on placement of school. Once I got the okay to atten
