A general overview of the las 19 years.

I was born April 12, 1995 at just 23 weeks gestation. I only weighed1 pound 2.5 ounces. From day one I've been a fighter I came out kicking and screaming and even though I  don't kick and scream anymore I still have quite a bit fight in me. Over the last 19 years I have exasperated  many joys but also many setbacks. I have spastic diplegia cerebral palsy due to a grade 2 brain bleed  three days after birth. My CP mainly affects my legs but it also does affect my right arm quite significantly. My main mode of transportation is a power wheelchair  I can do some walking but it's only for short distances and it is quite difficult. In the last 19 years I had 9 surgery only two related to my others are due to my prematurity. The two surgeries I had related to CP is a selective dorsal rhizotomy and hamstring heel cord releases. I was in general education for kindergarten first and second grade and from the repeated second-grade through my senior high of school I was in special-education with the exception of 8th grade. I graduated high school in June. As for right now I go to a day hab  program which is not  my favorite but I'm working on trying to get a job. This is a general overview of the last 19 years in the post to come I will go more in depth of about something in this post like education and surgeries in posts to come.
