There is hope
One thing before I start. My back is spasming so any prayers for a quick recovery will be much appreciated.
Last Saturday was the Special Olympics play day. I love this day. It is for preschooler with special needs. There is basketball, bowling, dancing, biking, running, arts and crafts, parachutes and golf.
If anyone has not heard today golf became a Olympic sport. Golf is one of my favorite sports. I have played golf for the local Special Olympics and for my high school for the past three years. I love playing golf for my school. GO is really great guy he gets it. He is a former special education teacher who believes in inclusion. GO has let me play on the practice team and although I have never played a match I get to play on the course. He sometimes pushes me hard to do things I do not want to do. (More on this latter)He lets me be on the team. I may not play in the match however I have a uniform and am involved in all the fundraising and it means a lot to me . I love golf I may not be the best but I like it all the same.
So as I watched the little kids with disabilities play mini golf . There is that glimmer of hope for inclusion on a golf team in high school . The kid may only be on the prat ice team like I have been,but the kid will earn a spot through hard work. Like I am trying to do on Tuesday rain or shine. Although sun will be better. No matter if I play or not there will still be hope for the little kids because of GO. It is amazing how one person can give a glimmer of hope.

Best doctor's visit ever
Yesterday I had a Dr's visit. It was at the teen clinic at UCSF. the place where my mom works. it was my first time in the clinic and guess what I actually want to go back why. The attendant was really nice and we talked about school and stuff . My mom said we were in there way too long. Mom was in there for the entire afternoon. Then the doctor came in and we all talked and guess what I might speak to the medical students about being a teenager with disabilities and in a few weeks I will get a cool new blog about a young adult with a disability (cp to be exact) who goes to UC Berkley. I can not wait especially since I am about to make that big transition myself. wow

Another Poem for the web
(Me in Disneyland next to my beloved childhood movie icon the aliens summer 2006 Princess is next to me )
Do not stereotype me
Just because I’m disabled
I’m not a science fair project so please do not stare.
Ask a question?
I do not mind
And have the time
To spare.
I’m not trying to talk weir d so do not take it as such
And I am not slow hate and I it when people think I am.
Just because I’m disable
I don’t enjoy teasing or bullying so think before you speak
I’m not a product of an accident that should not have been here
I don’t just wonder around aimlessly
And I don’t know any one with a disability who dose.
Just because I’m disabled
I’m not a baby even if I wish I were on hard days
I don’t have a sickness or illness
And I don’t plan to be a burden to my society my whole life.
In fact I want to enrich my community
Just because I’m disabled
Don’t me that you are more perfect then me
Smarter then me
