Back in 2011 I have decided to start a website. I know I created a website to share my story with the world in order for me not to feel alone in this situation. I was just simply overcoming the dark side to my life as a teenager, at that time I considered my disability a "struggle" because through those moments I had in the past I felt like my disability was a struggle that I couldn't win.
Now I learn after coming out of a shell and box that I kept myself in for a while until graduating high school with no plan to my future I had no choice but to push myself and speak up before I was put in a place where my knowledge, talents, abilities and passions would be used and put to work and not only as a stereotype that my disability is not a struggle as I begin to grow into a world of opportunities after deciding to take my advocacy beyond behind scenes. Using the word struggle to me is a sign of pity and to be sorry for but to me Cerebral Palsy is not a struggle its a challenge I win each day. I may not be able to walk but my brain is not affected. I believe having Cerebral Palsy is a blessing. Despite my challenges I face I do more then whats expected of me neither did it ever stop me from dreaming big. I use my Cerebral Palsy to inspire others, advocate for myself and those who can't speak for themselves with an without disabilities, on my free time I enjoy volunteering I give back and support my community. Choice matters to me since having Cerebral Palsy because I could have choice to set an dwell on my disability or turn the negative into positive. I became apart of United Cerebral Palsy where they brought me into a whole new world I truly grown on them with opportunities. I started college where others doors as open for me and allowed me to see there is a world bigger than I thought. Now I started writing my own book 72 and more chapters I handed written the draft..It has only took me a few months.
I do more than an normal person. I set examples for many.
So what are you complaining about? Whats your excuse? Don't take the little things for granted because those abilities you have in life people with disabilities wish they had..
Some days are truly more challenging than others.
