If you missed reading my story about birth and early childhood, you should read " My Story: Living with Cerebral Palsy, Part I: Birth and Early Childhood ". I am sharing the second part of my story with all of you. The second part of my story addresses how I navigated my school years with cerebral palsy. I attended the Perlman Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for preschool. The Perlman Center provides children with cerebral palsy and other physical conditions that can help them live full life. They also support adults with cerebral palsy and other physical conditions. They have great programs such as preschool education, assistive technology, and supportive therapy. I loved the preschool program. I enjoyed spending time with my classmates. I learned to read at age 3 and spell at age 5. I encountered an elderly pediatrician and volunteer, Dr. Peerless during my preschool years. He would walk in and sit with me each and every time. We headed to my house for dinner. I re...

I wore a green sweatshirt and black workout leggings. I ate Pillsbury's banana bread for breakfast for the first time- it tasted delicious. I quickly made it with assistance yesterday. Crushed walnuts are optional to be added into the bread. That's a pre-made batter and a quick preparation. I thought it's much better than Wawa banana bread but I still like both brands. I ate a leftover lemon asparagus linguine for lunch. I watched a new episode of Good American Family. I went to Mel's Diner so I had a crab cake dinner with baked sweet potato and steamed broccoli and cheese- y...
