HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
My name is Maggie and I'm in my last year of high school. Honestly I feel kind of weird writing about myself because as a person I am not normally a talker much more of a listener. I am told that I am very understanding, determined, and patient. The person that has shaped my life would have to be my brother. He is a giant influence and has made me the person I am today. His life is complicated with a disease called Cerebral Paulsy. This challenges his life by making it harder for him physically and intellectually. He suffers everyday but amazingly overcomes these issues baby steps at a time. Seeing him struggle then succeeding has changed my life. He makes me take less things for granted and appreciate what I have. I view him as an average kid with extraordinary abilities to overcome his problems. Not many teens can say that about themselves. Because of him I have decided to go into psychology and special education when I go into college. I want to help change the world as he has done for me.
One of my old students had CP and performed in her wheel chair at the Hip Hop show I used to run and is now in college... She amazes me. I hope you shared this blog with him

ReplyDeleteI had no idea your brother had Cerebral Paulsy. But that's great that he still is successful and achieves a lot :) I can see why you'd be interested in psychology and special education, and that's cool that your brother has influenced your decision and gave you some direction into what field of study you want to go into! I still have no idea...
