This book will enlighten the reader as to the challenges encountered of myself, a woman with physical disabilities, specifically cerebral palsy. It describes my life as a child, student, mother, professional and advocate for those with disabilities.
In spite of my severe Cerebral Palsy, I have had an extraordinary life. I have had so many great, wild, crazy, happy, and sad experiences that many other people might not have had, disability or not.
My hope for the reader of my book is that they look at disabilities in a different way, a fresh way. My hope is that you see all people for who they are and not only for their disability. So often we see people with developmental disabilities and intellectual disabilities and have preconceived notions about how their lives are supposed to be, and we forget about their humanity.
