As the old saying goes.... everyone has a story, A story about their life.. here is some of my story
as stated in a previous blog entry, I was diagnosed with cerebal Palsy back in november, and i will be the first to admit that kinda threw me for a loop it just wasnt something that i was expecting to hear even thought I have lived with it all my life.. Things just seem easier to accept if they dont have a name or so it seems.
Anyways i digress, growing up wasnt easy for me.. I always was different, the right side of my body is weaker then the rest. ok i am take yall back to when i was.. when i was born i wasnt breathing when i was born and was in and out of the hospital till i was 1 year old. at that time i would have seziures, but after a year i was healthy as a horse and i still tend to be a very healthy person 30 years later.. My parents was told that IF i lived i would be vegatable the rest of my life ( i guess i proved those doctors wrong)..
From the time i was in kindergarden till the time i was in 6th grade i had phyical and ocupational thearpy 5 days a week... I will be the first to admit, in school i was bullied yes i was because i was differnt and people usually make fun of the "different one".. around 5th grade or so i got braces on my legs that went half way up the calf...talk about kicking someone when they are down... and yes that really was a hard thing to adjust to being a kid and having to strap braces on your legs
then came the high school years , High school is hard on a normal teen, its even harder on a teen with a disablity.. even though i have never really considered myself as having a disability. i never let that stop me from doing anything.. by the time i turned 16 (that age everyone wants to drive and get their first job, I got my first job it was as a bagger at a local grocery store.. Its hard on me doing phycial jobs because my brain thinks faster then my body can get them done.. High school proved to be not challenging to me at all, so i dropped out and got my ged within 3 months.. which was kinda cool in a way, i got my ged and went to college.. I never dated through high school or college, I know its weird.. i did get the nerve to ask a woman out in high school she was a couple years older then me and all she did was laugh at me.
anyways, the college years came, i worked in a restraunt on campus and went to school... I never let anyone know about my past.. the them i was another person in my late teens..
anyways its always been hard on me to keep a job due to the fact of my disability. i have (in the last year) written a book ( its currntly being revised because it was published in 2011) the book is about keeping kids safe online.
i am now trying to start a video production business to make a life for myself. if you notice to the right there is a donate now button, If you can help in any way it would mean the world to me..
Thanks for reading this long blog post...
