"Your daughter will not be like other children, so don't compare her to them." That's it; those were the only words the doctor told my parents after I had spent a month in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of my premature birth at six months and weighing only two pounds.

Whenever I tell someone that I have Cerebral Palsy (CP), I find two things: 1). People don't believe me. 2.) When they finally believe me, they have many misconceptions about Cerebral Palsy.
