Just want to have fun

           this post is  a vent u  have been  warned

  Even  though  I am 19 years old   and the eldest  sister. I feel  like  I am  nine and have two older sisters. The worst  part is that   I am done with high school  but never went to a house party   or a school dance.

   Things are different  for  my two  sisters.  Book gal and   Princess  are   known to be out of the house a lot. They have lots of friends that they hang out with   and  I am stuck at home.  I am  soo bored  and the Wii  and internet  only helps  to a extent.  I am soo lonely .   I do not know why this should bother me  because  I have  been  lonely for a while  now  however it does.

 What can  parents of  typical  teenagers   do  to help  people like me out  is  to encourage  that   they  call up    others with disabilities  there same  age to hang out with.   I know  i am  difficult to hang out with but  if  I  lack  practice  of being around  peers  I  will never  learn.     Just because I am disabled  does not mean that I  do not have the same diseres   as other teenagers  do. i want to go out of the house without  my parents and have a  good  time.  I want  to have a  fun summer  getaway.  I want something to do.  Will all the  things  typical  teenagers  do  be  right for me   no  but allot of them will.   For example  I  can not  go to   to a 18 and under  club  but  I   would  like to go bowling   or  go to the theaters  to see    Harry Potter at midnight.  I  may not   want to go  to a horror   film   but  i  would  enjoy horseback  riding  or     a amusement park.      What  I would love    is  if  someone  invited  me to do something  and  even  if  it was not  something  I wanted to do     It would  be a step in the right  direction.      People  with disabilities   just want to have fun

Happenings at home

 hay  guys  so   I  have not been   blogging  for a while so here is whats up 

1  My   sister ,  book gal,   is  graduating from high school and will be moving to Boston.  The  ceremony is  tomorrow  and    we have a house party    on Saturday.

 2 Princess is a senior .  She   took the SAT's  on Saturday.  I  felt kinda bad for her because her  first week of summer break  was spent  taking a  SAT prep course.  The same one  I  took    but never  used   i   now  to go  CC  sigh 

3 I  got a job at  a basketball camp.  Note   it is  not a special needs  basketball  camp,  A  regular basketball  camp.  My mom  tried  to  get me connected to a job coach for adults with disabilities  but  I  wanted  to  get the job on my terms. I  was a camper  at this camp  in middle school and loved it.  Their philosophy is  to teach  campers  how to be  better  people  using sport as a vehicle. ( sounds  familiar   right think Special Olympics ) One of my memories of camp is   having  to  ask to go to snack  using magic words  and lots of high fives ( again special Olympics)     I am supper excited.  I will be blogging about it as   I  get more info on it ,

4 My mom  had a birthday yesterday  Happy b day mom

5 My dad's mom is here for the  graduation  tomorrow  this  is really cool as she is in Texas and we do not see her that often.   Yesterday  My parents grandma and I went to see X Men  great movie  more info about that soon

Blogging Against Disabilties Day My name is AZ not az

   First off  I want to  say  hi to anyone who  is new to the blog. Thanks  for joining me   for  Blogging Against Disablities  day.  A  little about  me  I am  19 year old  collage  student with CP and other disabilities   i have an  articulation  disorder  as a result of CP I  reside  in  Northern California witch is in the united states .

ok  now  for the post

  I am in collage  like  I mentioned before. it is a community collage    and i am going until I  can transfer to  a  four year, i do not have a intellectual disability people but  apparently not everyone thinks that.

 I want to say first off that the students in my classes  have been great   they treat me as an equal and help me  not  friendship  outside of class , but there has been small talk outside of  class,  which is fine by me as i want to graduate   asap to move to four year.

  there is  a girl  though who gets  on my naves and  the irony of it  I  met her when donating to  some fundraiser to Japan.  She  talked  to me as  I was a baby and  I did not think of anything of it at first.   But then  I  left  my iphone at the booth  and that is when it all started.    They called my Dad   to them that it would be in student  rec room and  my dad of course  told me.

Seeing me  at a table , the girl, who i would say  is  not to much older than me, says in this high pitched  voice  that is  normally used on infants  "oh honey you left your phone in building __ OK  you know where that is ?" Come on  I   am standing near the  building and  I am not a baby.

The  only thing that maybe celebrates  me  from this  girl  is  the fact   that  I  had  a stroke  before  i  was born.   I am  a 19 year old women  after all.  I am  in collage   not kindergarten  why do people assume that disabled  people are automatically kids.  I am not a  baby  I  can hold a baby I was a baby but  that  was  in 1991.   I am a high school  graduate and  one  of the best writers in my class  of students  who  do not have disabilities   so  all  i ask  is for respect  thanks
