Okay I'm going to write about one of my pet peeves after having to use handicapped stalls  in public restrooms my whole life to give you some insight into my world. Number one when you walk into a public restroom or dressing room and choose to use the the handicapped stall it makes people who really do need the handicapped stall half to wait.

If there is a will there is a way don't ever think cerebral palsy has to stop you from chasing your dreams if you believe in yourself and have a good support system you will find a way.  5. never ever give up I know life is tough but you can't quit no matter how hard the circumstances may be God will get you through 6.  sometimes its best to ask for help  I know, I would rather struggle to do something myself rather than ask for help just to say i did it myself but sometimes its best just to ask for help 7.
