* Special Philosophies: ( about life, world, politics, disabled)
I want to be independent to the best of my ability. A tough girl that rises and defeats challenges within the limits of my disability. I have CP low tone, so cannot walk by myself and have difficulty with fine motor skills like writing. I am friendly and happy and love my family and want others to know they can be independent too.

* Achievements since the onset of your disability:
I learned to sit up and to talk, though many people do not understand me easily. I can type and I am an expert at video games. I drive my electric wheelchair and won a gold medal in it at special olympics this year. I had major abdominal surgery at birth and in 07 and 08 and am fine now, I hope.
