Today is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day and this my life story!
My umbilical cord wrapped around cutting off the air circulation to my brain. The doctors told my family that I would never even talk, walk, or live a normal life. Little did they know. I started talking out of the blue, soon I began to walk on my knees.
I used a walker and a wheelchair when I was young, until one day at a park I was sitting on the grass watching all of my cousins play and then it happens like this, I got up on two feet and walked over to play. My whole family was blown away by this, some say it was an act of god.
At first, I was enrolled at a special school for handicap kids, but then my parents took me out and I enter a normal school, where I used a walker all thru my school years because of my balance and the crowded school's hallway. While at an elementary school, I had a special desk, my teachers had to cut down my school work because I use up 3 to 5 times the amount of energy that people use without Cerebral Palsy. In middle and high school I was able to keep up with my school work and could sit in a normal school desk.
I was bullied at school, One day some boy throw a hard golf ball at the back of my head. one girl kicks the back of my chair in the middle of history class in 8th grade, just because of my cerebral palsy. Let put an end to school bullying!! Also, teacher and teacher aids were bullies to me as well. Tell me that “I can’t do anything when I grow up.” I also had a learning disability too I have four Special Ed classes in middle school. Yet I loved going to school.
Growing up with Cerebral Palsy was hard on me because people always made fun of me or people treated me like a baby. I was Homeschooled in high-school years missing all of the rites of passages. I was not happy that my parents homeschool me at all. I used to think that I was the only one with Cerebral Palsy. I was abused in every way that that is possible BUT SOMEHOW I MADE IT THROW IT, WITH THE HELP OF GOD AND MY ANGLES that gave me power and lead me to my beloved home in Williamsburg!!!
All my life I have always wanted to be an author when I grew up because I always had a story up in my head. With The help of some of my dear friend’s, I’m happy to say that I have romance books out on Amazon.com!!! It's all began on my 22 birthday, I went the newly open Mob Museum and to my shock, Frank Cuttolla was there signing his book. I meet him and told him that I want to be a Mafia-Romance and he told me that if I need help just let him know. I said okay thinking he has better things to do than helping me a young CP girl at the time. I found him on Facebook weeks later and we began to talk, he always inviting me to this and that. I base my fist book Timeless Omerta off on Tony Spilotro’s reign as the Las Vegas Mafia boss, in the 1970s. He had it all, running the Crime underworld. He could have any woman he wanted in Las Vegas, instead, he became romantically Geri Rosenthal. At first, it was a Casino FanFic that I was witting and putting online for free, but my family and friend told me it was way too good to be a fanfic. After I was done with my book Frank hooked me up with some people and that how my book came to be. Now he’s Uncle Frank to me. ❤ I have some pretty astonishing friends & family who love me for me.
CHEER'S TO CEREBRAL PALSY DAY 2018!!!! 🍾🍾🍾
