America 2012
I have never been to CHOP which stands for Children's Hospital of Philidelphia nor do i plan to donate a penny to them?
Why you ask
Meet Amelia she is a little girl whose needs a new kidney yet her parents were told by CHop that she can't because she has as the doctor's put it ever soo nicely. can you hear I am being sarcastic here Mental retardation and brain damage.
This is not fair as a advocate for those with disabilities It feels as if we are back to square one where kids with Intellectual disabilities yeah that is the right term are put into instutions. Socity has come to a census that this is wrong yet a DR can still say fthis in 2012 that is not fair.
As a person living with CP I feel deeply saden by the fact that this can still be said in 2012. I have been preaty lucky so far in that I have not needed and surgryies and would hate to think that someone would say no to me because I was not fit to live. Isn't that what Adolph Hitler did in Germany nearly 100 years ago. Isn't that what slave owners did to blacks when they treated them like horses during slavery. yeah that is exactly what they did but we now look back on that with same.
COME ON AMERICA WE CAN DO BETTER.

Cerebral Palsy is not hopeless
I have many memories of watching 60 minutes . It has been a tradition that has been happening for a long time in my household . I loved seeing Andy Rooney at the end and I am sad that he died. He passed away the day of my softball torment last year.
So On sunday when I was on face book and someone posted that 60 minutes would speak about CP I do what I normally do. I sneak into my parent's room and watch TV as was the case Sunday night. I really like how 60 minutes so far has portrayed people with disabilities up until this point but the piece was a exception.
The way the reporter talked about CP painted a very sad picture of my disability. The story starts out with phrases such as "hopeless disease." Sorry but I have CP and no it is not hopeless nor a disease, its a disability.I invite anyone who thinks that Cp is hopeless to come spend some time at my place. Laughter is a common thing in my house and I have played sports gone to school attend college. I am really funny . yes I have a disability but it is not the end the world.
This brings up the whole point of the article. The article talks about wanting to "cure" CP and other disabilities using illegal stem sells. I find it wrong because I have CP and I do not want to be cure of CP. It is apart of who I am . It is not hopeless nor is it the end of the world. My advice to parents of kids with CP is step back take a deep breath and do not go to other countries to get stem cells because having CP is not that bad. As of January 2012 stem cells can not help Cp yet CP is not hopeless. I am living proof that therapy and lots of love will do wonders. For whatever reason I have disabilities and you know what I am normal. This is my normal.

Sixth grade part one : orientation
I remember going to school for orientation. I would be in Pod 2. My sixth grade class was split up into Pods. This meant that a group of kids would have the same English Math and Science class. This would be my first time rotating classes as well. This system seemed to be a good idea because all the teachers were next door to each other. This was also a good idea because the kids in each class had the potential to become great friends. I stay potential because it never really worked out. Due to social skills problems I never really had friends without disabilities from middle school on up. Let me say that at least I knew everyone name by the end of the year.
During ordination I would come to find that my pod was the cool advanced pod. Our pod had a mascot the sea horse which none of the other pods had as well as fun math. I did not do very much math that year instead we did art projects it was cool. My teacher was very old in fact back in 2003 he had some former students children. He is now retiring at the end of this school year 2011. I was the only one from my family to have him. Book gal went to a private school and Princess was in a different pod. He had some disabilities but that did not prevent him from teaching math science and PE as well as coach sports.
Anyway after orientation I went out breakfast with DD, we were friends all throughout middle school, I had no idea what w to as to come that year.

Something that has been on my mind since the new year o
So we had a New Years day party at my house yesterday. I had a great time ; however some one said something about Dick Clark
Dick Clark and new years eve have been a package deal most of the time since i was born. , It is only recently that I became aware of the person who has hosted for a long time apparently to long for some people.
here is what I heard by two people say about Dick Clark.
Dick Clark should not be on tv anymore. I could not understand him.
First off Dick Clark had a stroke that caused his speech to be slurred but HE IS THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE NEWS YEAR EVE. When he started if ,40 years ago he was abled body the only thing that happend is he had a stoke. What would have happend if Dick Clark had the stork around the time he was born ie Cp, Well back then his parents would have been advised to put him in a institution and the New York new years thing would have not existed.
So here is my option on the matter. Mr.Clark should get to contiue bringing in the new years as long as he wants to. It is a good awareness for people with strokes. Having a stroke should not hinder anyone from having a fun New Year. Happy New Year Everyone
