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!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
