Having Cerebral Palsy doesn’t make me incompetent – that’s what I want the world to know.

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1232 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,  brush my teeth, go back to sleep – I had a massive headache and the left side of my jaw has been hurting for the past couple of days but I’m fine now (THANK YOU God) – stretch my hamstrings,  feed myself egg with bread for breakfast,  read 2 Chronicles 35,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,   promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – my mother bless her heart saw how hard I was working on this campaign yesterday and offered to donate again I said thanks but no thanks I’m the one who started this campaign I can’t expect my parents to donate the whole $1000 and besides I sent emails to everyone I know even our reverend someone’s bound to visit my page and donate (she says hopefully) – and spend time outside.

Last night I was thinking about how people are surprised when I do ordinary everyday things like answer the phone or sleep in a bed by myself people don’t seem to get that I’m an ordinary twenty-two-year-old except for the fact that I can’t walk it frustrates the hell out of me. Do you see a differently-abled person and automatically assume that they are helpless?
