Believe In Yourself
You wake up in the morning and think about what you look like. You walk to the mirror and stare at yourself. You scrutinise every feature that you can see. You look at your bright eyes surrounded by eyelashes of different lengths. You look at your brows whether they’re thick or thin. You look at yourself and what do you think? Think beauty. Think special. Think beautiful. Think handsome. Think intelligent. Think positive thoughts. You wake up in the morning and believe that you are who you are. Nobody can force you to change yourself. You don’t need to change for anyone because guess what? You are perfect. We’ve been taught for a long time that no one is perfect but if you think you’re perfect, who even has the right to tell you otherwise? No one.

A Child’s Voice Found Through Intuitive Science
No one really knew what to do for Gracie. The doctors didn’t know what was causing it, so they didn’t know how to treat it. Allergies? At eighteen months old, Gracie couldn’t tell anyone what was going on in her body. She couldn’t explain why her nose ran constantly since she was just a few weeks old. She couldn’t explain why her eyes moved independently of each other, and why the earaches kept coming. Did she need more antibiotics? Special glasses? Tubes in her ears? Different medications?

Tired of Narcolepsy
It first happened sometime during the summer of 2010, during the last lesson of the day. I had my eyes down as I was reading Macbeth in English; the teacher was reading out loud to us all. After a while, my eyes felt heavy, I couldn’t keep them open. The words on the page became suddenly jumbled up. Eventually, the feeling passed and thought nothing of it. I just assumed I was sleepy from being in school all day.

Temporarily Handicapped Part 1
First things first, I am not a small woman, and with that being said, having an accident that makes you wheelchair bound is not easy.
