Having a disability can be hard and sad sometimes. It is hard when you can’t do things for yourself. I can’t take care of myself. I can’t take myself places. It is hard when people think that you are mentally challenged because you are in a wheelchair and can’t speak clearly. They have to see that you’re smart even though your body doesn’t cooperate. They have to give us a chance to be somebody in this world. But I don’t get sad that I have cerebral palsy. I know that God picked me to have a disability. He never leaves me. He has blessed me with a really beautiful family and wonderful friends. I enjoy life!
My disability is called cerebral palsy. I cannot control my movements because of the type of cerebral palsy that I have. I have athetoid cerebral palsy. When a person has athetoid cerebral palsy, it means that they cannot hold still for a long time.
My body moves even though I don’t tell my brain to move a part of my body. I move a lot, especially when I am very excited, or when I am hurting a lot. This doesn’t keep me from enjoying life, or having friends.
During my last year of high school, I was really sure I wanted to enter a convent in Mexico. But I didn’t have e-mail back then to get the information I needed.
In April of 2008. I heard my calling Again. I started to e-mail people about how to go about this, but most of them didn’t e-mail back. I would be very happy be coming a sister.

 

Each morning and after I say my regular Catholic prayers, I say this for my family and me. “God, please watch over us all this day and always. God and Jesus Christ, please keep us safe all this day and always. God and Saint Lawrence, please keep us safe on the road all this day and always. God and Our Lady of Guadalupe, please give us all of our patience and strength all this day and always. God and Jesus Christ, please help us with everything all this day and always, and try to make us happy a part of this day. Virgins, Saints and Angels, please pray for us, take care of us all this day and always. God, Jesus Christ and Our Lady of Guadalupe, please take care of our family and friends”.
