How I Use My Voice To Stand Up For My Disability
Disabled Beauty

I wanted to announce some amazing news! I see more of the disabled community doing amazing to prove society that we are able to do anything we set our mind to do. I talk about being Miss Mauldin Teen USA in one of my previous articles. I wanted to show the world that my disability doesn’t define who I am as a person nor my beauty. I still have that platform and will never give up on even after making my dreams come true.

I created something to show the world how a person with disability life is actually like. I want to show the society how wrong they are about people with disabilities. They love to show the world that people with disabilities life is sad but it’s not. One thing I do hate so much is when some people try to use us as a way to win something or make themselves look better. Some people brag about how they “helped” people with disability as a way to make themselves look better. Honey, we don’t need you. We are just fine. We want people actually to care about helping us. Most of us don’t need help. We just want people to see us as humans, not products.

My mom and I always try to find new ways to promote my platform. We started doing a project that took some time and I want to announce that we have a website called Disabled Beauty.

Disabled Beauty is a place where people with or without a disability can go in and have a different perspective on a person with a disability life. I will be blogging and be making videos about my life. I promise you it will not be boring. My friends and I will be on there and you will be laughing. There will be a place to purchase clothes, accessories, and other items so you can support Disabled Beauty. Disabled Beauty will use most of the money to donate to certain organizations that support people with disabilities. I believe this will help give the world a way to see people with a disability as positive and instead of a negative way that society have been doing.

Disabled Beauty will be a step to help many people with disabilities to know their worth and know they can do anything they set their mind to do. I want to be a role model to many young children who have a disability and even without to know they can do whatever they want in life. Not allow society to define who they are. We are different but we are all beautiful. Looks don’t define anyone. It’s what’s inside counts. Please support Disabled Beauty and spread the word!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
