"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." ~ Harriet Tubman
I’m sure most of you must have heard about Make-A-Wish, well when I was three I got an amazing opportunity to make a wish. At that time I couldn’t speak and could only do sign language. So I did a mouse sign and off we went to Disney World Florida. Although I personally don’t remember that trip at all, seeing pictures show me how blessed I was having people make my dream come true. Although I already had a Make-A-Wish wish if I would do it again there would be a million things I would want to do like, meet the New York Giants, meet Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. But I think the one I would really love to do would be going on the Ellen Degeneres Show. I would love to go on the show and just share my story. I watch her show everyday during the seasons and the inspiring people she has on are awesome. I love hearing everyones different stories whether its losing a home, or having Cystic Fibrosis. Not a lot of people have heard of CCM, and I would love to make it heard and share the ups and downs. I want to tell other kids that its okay to be different. I know what it is like to live a life that isn’t defined as “normal”. I have run into many obstacles that I have to overcome and so do many other kids. I may not know exactly what they are going through but having someone to talk to can go a long way in helping someone and that is what I want to do. I’m currently in the process of writing my letter and sharing my story to Ellen. In other news less than two weeks until I move into school, how scary is that!
