Struggle For Independence eBook

A Struggle for Independence is a true story based on my personal life as someone who has lived with mild Cerebral palsy and the many goals I have accomplished such as walking at twenty months old and speaking, driving a car at age seventeen, another was motherhood at age thirty-five which was a huge victory for me. I gave birth to a healthy normal baby girl, who is the joy of my life. I have overcome many obstacles in spite of the prejudice and ignorance that I have faced with society. I was raised in a military family that moved around from state to state and lived in Europe as well. I''m the oldest of four siblings. As the oldest I was responsible for my younger siblings, one of them, a precocious younger sister who forced me to excel in ways that weren''t expected. In addition, my mother had the insight to allow me to do things on my own without any interference. This story leads you from tears to laughter. You might ask yourself does her struggle with independence have to do with her physical disability or society itself?I hope my story inspires others like myself to write their story.
