Was I the only kid that wished
There was something wrong with them.
It sounds strange, but I
Always wished I had a disease
Or some kind of disability
When I was younger.
I have no idea where that
Thought came from.
As I got older the thought
Was still there.
I think I wanted one to help me
Understand disabled people
And people that have diseases.
I keep watching and reading
About kids and teens with
Disabilities and diseases.
It started with me reading
Books by Lurlene McDaniel.
Her books are amazing and
Pull at your heart strings.
She writes about teens with
Diseases.
Then it moved to movies.
The one recently I have watched
A lot is Five Feet Apart.
It is about teens with CF.
It is an incredible movie that
Teaches you a lot about CF.
It also teaches you about
What we need as humans.
Another movie is Before Sunset.
It is about a teen that has XP.
She can not go in the sun or
She will die.
For T.V. shows there is Alexa and Katie.
Alexa has cancer and Katie is the best friend.
This show teaches you about friendship.
The last show is a new one I just discovered.
It is Zac and Mia.
They both have a cancer.
This show teaches you about
Who your real friends are?
I am drawn to these kinds
Of books, movies and shows
Because I want to be these teens.
