Best teacher

My high school career is coming to a end. (Sniffle, Tear, Sniffle) I had the pleasure of meeting and working with an amazing teacher! He has been there through my bad days and great days. He can be stubborn when I ask to go to the library for studding. He is a fun teacher. Yeah we tease each other which is funny at times I will admit. I wish to have another year with him!
But sadly I have to graduate.  

What being in a wheelchair is like.

Ok I know that I wanted to be in a wheelchair, because I thought it would be easier then walking. I will never wish to be until my 70's (Hope I live that long) or wish it on my worst enemy!  Not because of my team triumph (don't dis on this unique organization ), I get to do a 5k 10K half marathons triathlons, which is an awesome way for disabled people to fit in.

 Back to my original thought, this event involves a stroller-like wheelchair.  Now if you all don't know what a special (the reason why I say special is because of the adaptations) wheelchair is here is a quick overview of one. They have a butterfly strap on the persons chest, headrest, seatbelt  which is normal, and foot straps.

Even though I don't use a wheelchair so much, I know what it is like. The feeling of being able to walk is amazing!! By the way I used a different chair for the 5k! The picture is a updated version.

Because of cerebral palsy

What makes everyday hard..

My cerebral palsy effects my speech. So people have a hard time understanding me. Most people can understand me when I have face to face contact. It's even harder for people to understand me on the telephone. It's hard and sometimes frustrating to have to repeat myself.

With my disability of  cerebral palsy if I take my time with my speech people can understand me better but when I get really excited my speech is horrible and people do not understand me. They aka(speech therapist) same that my speech will most likely will not get better and that my speech will stay the same. I think they are WRONG. I am determined to make my speech better not worse.

Some days people can't understand me even with seeing my face. Yes somedays I want to give up and just not talk. Is that a option for me? No, because then i would be giving up everything I worked hard for.

I have a lot to be thankful for because God gave me a mild case of cerebral palsy I could have the serve type of cerebral palsy have been confined to a wheelchair and not be able to talk.  Yes, I may wish some days I would have the sever type of cerebral palsy but I won't trade my type for it.

When People see a disabled person

What defines a physical disability?

pertains to total or partial loss of a person’s bodily functions.

I know what people think when they see me or others with a Physical disability. 

Let me list some.

• Staring and glares
• Laughing
• Calling names
• Mocking the disabled person

Most of these things are true but are often done on a regular bases. Most family don't mind the glares, stares and rude comments, but others will stand up to people. Yea, most of us are use to it but it still hurts inside. Some but not all, that have Cerebral Palsy are in wheelchairs or walk with an limp get most of the list. Half of all physical disabilities are not the same as one anther.

When I hear the word modified..

So sometimes I get a modified  test, homework and projects. Which I know is the best thing for me because, my hand writing is bad.  Like some of my teachers can't read it.

Last year I took Geometry which was not a bad class, but a lot of writing.  Math is always a lot of hand writing, But Geometry you got to write proofs Which sometimes can be long. I sometimes got modified homework witch was awesome. Good thing I had a associate/teacher in that class or I would be in the hole. 

When the teachers put essays on test, sometimes I can have two or one exempt from the test. Witch is not a bad thing for me. The main teachers may not care for.

Before, I dropped media teach this year, I was talking to the teacher and the first project, he was going to modify for me because it was going to be hard. I had drop that class because it was getting to hard and the teacher goes to fast for me.
