*My Essay about Kids and their Disabilities

 Does anyone know how hard it is to be disabled besides the people who are? Well I really don't think so in my opinion. Know one knows how complicated and tough it is to deal with the things people without disabilities can't deal with. Dealing with things that you can't do that everyone else can do is hard. Maybe it is lifting yourself off a place where you are laying down; or maybe it is trying to tell someone something that you can't say, and you just want to say it. There are many things that disabled kids and adults can not do that non handicapped people can do.

 I would think that it would be extremely difficult to be different from everyone else. I'd get so frustrated, not being able to do something I want to do. There are so many different types of disabilities in the world such as Scoliosis and Cerebral Palsy. Those are two kinds of disabilities kids can have. In fact, my sister, Brittney Jane, has Scoliosis. She is six years of age, and has been disabled since the day she was born. She was born with only half of a brain when she was born. Not only that, but she has eye problems, where her pupils are different sizes, and she has Scoliosis. No, my sister can't walk, talk, crawl, or even sit. My sister reminds me of a girl who lives across from me. Katie!

 Katie is seven. She has the a disability called Cerebral Palsy. Katie can't talk that well, but she can communicate. Along with my sister, Katie can't walk. But with help from an older sibling, or a teacher, Katie can slightly walk on her own. She has glasses, blondish-brownish hair, very nice, and sweet. In my opinion Katie and my sister are a lot a like. Katie's parents are very helpful to Katie. Katie's mom and dad are very generous to Katie. They teach her things, and help her walk. Katie learns speech, and tons of other important things. I know Katie learns a lot from them!

 Do people without disabilities feel pain the same way as people with disabilities do? I have always wondered that, and I think I always will. In my opinion, I don't think that we do feel their pain, and we never will. The surgeries that disabled kids, and adults have, I don't think are ever as bad as other peoples' surgeries. I really don't know why I think that, but I know I have a reason. Since my sister had surgery, back in 2000, she was never the same. The surgery didn't really help her, at all. I personally don't know why she got it; but I guess it was for the best . Right? But now, finding out that Brittney needs surgery again, doesn't make me the happiest person alive.

 But if you feel bad for some disabled kids, don't; because some of them are some of the most happiest people alive. Most of them, who are happy, like to share their happiness with the people around them, and that is what my sister, Brittney, and my neighbor, Katie do.
