I'm Rebecca and I have cerebral palsy, there’s no cure for this. This disability effects the muscles but I don’t have it as bad as other people. People ask me how I do things I do things just like you just slowly. I don’t like that people look at me differently because I’m no differently than you. This makes it hard to make friends and it’s hard to do somethings that you can do. Some people can’t walk or talk but I can and do it a lot. This disability is caused by high blood pressure and my mom has that. With this disability you might think I can't do things myself but I can do things myself. When I was born I was in the hospital for 4 months my mom didn’t think I was going to make it but I'm here 15 years later. I wish I could fix this but I just can’t because like my mom tells me this is the way God made me. People feel bad for me but they don’t have to feel bad for me. I wish I didn’t have this disability because my sister doesn’t have a disability but I still love her the same. I wish I was my sister but I’m not her I’m me and some people like me for me. I wish I could do things that you can do like walk correctly like you can do. I wish that people wouldn't look at me as a kid with a disability. I wish people would get to know me.
