No Right

Just because I have a disability does not mean that someone I don’t know has the right to comment about me to me. I get some mad I would never go up to someone and ask if they can go up step or “Are you worried, what if the elevator breaks?” Mind your own business. Just so rude. For the most part I don’t have problems with people making comment like that. This latest case was not a child, teenager or fellow collage student but an adult which pisses me off even more. Do you not think I think about fire alarms and things like the elevator breaking, I do but I can’t live in fear I will not live in fear. So don’t think your bringing to light something I over look because it my life and I don’t comment on yours.

When situations like this happen there is a whole list of stuff running through my head things I want so badly to say but don’t. I refrain from say things because many people still have that stupid assumption that all people with physical disabilities are angry, depressed and not will adjusted. Did you ever think that the reason those stereotypes are out there is because people can’t mind their own business.

Words I wanted to say:
I can’t believe you said that
Do you know how rude your being
Are you stupid I don’t ask you if you personal questions so why are you asking me
B!@*%
What I said:
I can do steps

Something I can do!!!

How much sleep did you get this weekend? I spent the weekend raising money for 2 different charities. The first charity was Juvenile Diabetes, my Sorority held an indoor soccer tournament which was a lot of fun. I took about 200 pictures. At the game we sold water for 1 dollar and that money went to help out local humane society that recently saved over 100 animals form a hoarder’s house. They are in desperate need of supplies so the money help. I did not mind going to the game and taken pictures no one in my sorority played because we set up the tournament.
The best part of the weekend was finding a huge charity event to raise money for American Cancer Society, that I could fully participate in. Its not a marathon, bike race or some type of walk. Its called a Rock~A~Thon. The Rock~A~Thon is where you get a team of 3 or more people on a team and they must keep their rocker moving the entire 12 hours. I could sit the entire time and no one would think about it I can stay awake all night(7am-7pm). When I got tired of rocking I could lay on the floor some people even slept between their turns. I originally was not going to be there the whole night but one of the girls on Twins team was sick and having a hard time so I stayed and kept people talking and moving. I had a blast. The event was 12hours and there were live bands, dancing, food, visitors, games and all kinds of great things to do. The best part about the day was that I found something any of my friends with disabilities could do. There is no limit to how many people you can have on one team and you don’t have to sit in the rocker just keep it moving so you could push it from the side or even bump it.

Sick

I got horribly sick. Its taken me for every to get back to normal. I missed a week of school. I have never missed one day of class since I started collage. I’m so behind in top of that I still have no energy and my balance is not working for me. I fell quit a lot this week, in class, in my room. I have no energy at night I’m so tired Its hard to get all my work done. The worst part is its -7 outside right now.
