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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
