Living Life to the Fullest


This is a story written by a girl named Ashley who has Cerebral Palsy. She started writing this in 7th grade and then again when she was 17 and a last time when she was 21. Although she is disabled, she doesn't like to see herself that way. She likes to do as many normal activities as possible. She is involved in her school, her church, went to her high school prom, and got a job. Although her fellow class mates and even teachers made fun of her along the way she didn't let them get her down. She chose to live her life the way she wanted to and not let her disability get in the way. Once she set her mind to something she got it done. She has proven you can live a great life even under undesirable circumstances.

  1. I think a story like this is amazing and people like Ashley should be looked up to, especially by all people suffering with a disease or a disorder.
