Anticipation!

The gala is in a month and the excitement is building here. It’s my first one, and I can’t wait. I have to try to get as dressed up as I can manage. It’s hard for me to wear more than a collared shirt. I hear that the highlight is Judy’s presentation of us. I wonder how I will feel when my face comes up. I have never been celebrated for the real me. I can’t imagine how I will feel at the moment.

I am anticipating that I will feel proud, which is exciting, as I have not had much experience of that. I think that having all those people clapping for me will be amazing. It makes me have butterflies in my stomach, thinking about it.

Something each of us needs is to feel proud of ourselves sometimes. I can’t wait to be proud of being me.

We Need CPs

There are not enough CPs for all of us. Definitely being nonspeaking stinks, and what makes it worse is that it is so hard to talk to everyone. Receiving the training is mandatory, but even then, it takes loads of practice. Certainly being able to talk to anyone anytime would change our lives so much. If receiving training was enough, then it wouldn’t be a problem. But that’s not enough…it takes months or even years of practice.

What can be done about this? All of us need teams of CPs. Let’s figure out how to make it easier to be one.

Hope

My knowledge of the world is limited because my schooling sucks. I hate every minute of it. Someday my life will change so that I can learn real things, I hope every day. I kind of wish I was done with school now…but then what? Horror fills me when I think about going to day care. I don’t want that even more than I don’t want to go to school. I have nightmares about it. I hope that by the time I leave school the world will be different.

I dream of a world where nonspeakers have the right to go to regular school. In my dream world I am ready to go to college. I get into a real one and can go, just like anyone. That always makes me happy.

Perhaps the world is changing. I see other nonspeakers doing great things. I hope I will too some day.
