As a teenager living with a disability, it is often hard to find activities that I could do to keep active. There were a few people from church who had ideas for me. One of these families knew me since I was approximately three years old, because they worked at the preschool I went toContinue reading “SCUBA Diving… well attempt… in a pool”

International Day of People with Disabilities- the meaning of words
Today is International Day of People with Disabilities, yeah! I was debating on what to talk about, because I had so many eye-opening conversations about what having a disability means, ableism, mental health, words, oppression in the disability community, (and how many people do not believe in it!) and wondering what the heck I am doing with my life!

The start of my story
I do not think very many people know this story, but tonight I thought I would share. I suffered from multiple injuries during my birth, I was very sick when I was born too. These circumstances basically caused me not to breathe. When you don’t breathe, oxygen does not travel to your brain. Continue reading “The start of my story”
