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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
