Some people are extraordinary while others have the potential to be extraordinary but aren’t – that’s what I realized yesterday.

It’s 12  : 00 PM on day 1270 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  pray, read Job 4, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself egg with bread  for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – 11 days  no donations and it’s not for lack of trying either I’ve asked my friends, family acquaintances and even strangers to take a look at my campaign and donate if they could and out of the hundreds of emails, tweets and Facebook messages I sent out fifteen people donated (two of whom happen to be related to me) I don’t know what else I can do I suppose I could organize a bake sale or something but for that I would need help and I don’t want to inconvenience my parents they’ve got so much on their plate already  – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and spend time outside.

Yesterday I read an article about a teenage boy who did something too disgusting to write about reading that article made me realize some people are extraordinary while others have the potential to be extraordinary but aren’t. Are you extraordinary or do you just have the potential to be extraordinary?
