Special Ed

So, a few blogs back I told you all about how I can use notes for test. How did I get into special ed? Well because of cerebral palsy. Now wait, with my condition ant you spouse to be in a room with disabilities? True, but I wouldn't like it. I am in all classes with my peers except for phy-ed.

There are some advantages with being in special ed. I kind of think of my IEP (Individualize Education Plan) as a "Bible". I know for a few test I play the "IEP card" to use notes. Now as I look at it really saved my butt! I do use my IEP for other things as well.  

My special ed teacher  is like a "gift from god." If I have a problem in one of my classes I will talk to her. In ninth grade I was in health. We were watching a video, but we had to fill out a worksheet with the video. So after class I talked to her about what happened. When I got done explaining what happened, she emailed the health teacher to ask if I could re do the worksheet. So he replied back saying that he would exempt me from it. She is so awesome. Sometimes we get on each other's nerves. This will be my last year with her. 

As my 5th grade teacher once said "we are a family as a class." And he is right, each special needs classroom or regular class room, we make up a family. 

Yes I have a associate for my writing! But some day's we can get on each other nerves. I am grateful to have her even on my bad days. Oh get this will be my six year with her! Yup, form 7th grade on. This two will be my last year with her. 

I don't know where I would be know (grade level wise) if there were not special ed in schools! This will be my last year in school before College (I don't know if i will go to College.)

Out of my mind

out of my mind by:Sharon Draper

One of many books I found on goodreads was out of my mind. When I found it in the library catalog, it looked interesting, but I waited tell I got back from my mini vacation to check it out.

Melody is a girl who can't talk,because of CP, but don't let that fool you inside she has a lot to say. What will melody do when fifth grade she starts moving around to two different classroom other that the special ed room. 

When Melody's one class try's a practice quiz (whiz kids quiz) she dose amazing and better than her classmates. Will she try to do the real quiz?  Will she make the team?

I give this a five star review

I feel so happy to have my last name. ..

As I lay in my bed at home, I am thinking about my vacation up by my dad's side. I miss being up there already. I miss having to talk to my grandma and giving her hugs. Ya, I get to do it all the time at my other grandma. But it is not the same. 

Thursday

The Morning of that day I came home it was about 3:30 A.M. My grandmas bedroom door was shut. I was so nervous about it if she was alive or not. Which I was freaked out about it. I did not hear her snore.Then morning came and she was up! (Sigh of relief) 

My family on my dad's side is amazing. I feel so bless to be apart of this family to know extent would I trade them for the world!!! I am a proud niece, granddaughter and cousin! I don't care about shopping with them I just want to spend the time I have with them. 

what families don't known a glimpse though my eyes

Note: for personal protection I put a letter by the word that is spouse to be a name

So here I am at my dad's side of the family.  I have very kind cousin's and  aunts and uncles on both sides of my families. I feel that it is hard to make a strong relationship with my family because of the way I walk and talk. I know its not my fault because of my disability, but sometimes it is hard for people to except for the way you are.

August

I went to the races with my aunt (Km)and uncle (Jm) and my cousin (M). I am so glad that they took me to see my older cousin (D) race.  It was so cool to see him race, and I was so lucky that I went because it was autograph night! During intermissions all the cars come out. I was waiting to go down there to see him so, he could autograph my sweatshirt. I don't like loud noises do I wear headphones wt the races  don't get me wrong but a lot of people wear headphones. I had a great time with my family that night.  What is scary for me is my balance is not so good sometimes,  like a big crowd. But I take my time ans it does help me or taking someone arm does help in a bigger crowd.

Sunday, I was visiting my Aunt and my cousin (T) at the hospital because she had a baby (L)  her husband (A) , my cousin by marriage, and I went down to the vending machines to get lunch.  Even tho A is very quiet,  I would think he is a little nervous about me. I can't blame him for that because I just meet him five days ago.

My point of this blog post is even though people have a disability don't mean that they shouldn't be rejected out of there family. I know that, some people are afraid  to say that they are related  to someone with a disability but, you have to just deal with it.
