Hey everyone! Happy New Year. Here's to hoping 2012 is wonderful. My name is Christy. I am 20 years old. I am in college majoring in psychology. A few months ago, I decided to start a blog about my life. :) One of the main reasons I decided to start this blog is because I want to raise awareness about disabilities. You see, I am not your average 20 year old college student. I have a disability myself. I have what is called Cerebral Palsy. I was diagnosed with C.P. when I was 18 months old. I use a power wheelchair to get around. I sometimes get sad because I'm not able to get up and get things myself. However, I am a very lucky girl! I still can speak on my own, feed myself, and I have full cognitive ability.
I felt compelled to write this blog for others who are in the same situation as I am, I want others who have a disability to know that they can still follow their dreams... it just may take them a little longer to accomplish them! I also want others to know that it is NOT ok to take "no" for an answer. If you want something, fight for it, no one said life was easy, but it's definitely worth it! NEVER SAY NEVER! Until next time!

Christy, I am so excited about this blog. Good for you for doing this. You're right - there's such a great to educate people about different disabilities. You will be an inspiration to so many people. So proud of you - and to think I knew you when - Bitsy and Betsy, LOL!
