Hey Guys,
Hope you had a good week! I am happy that spring break is almost here, I think we could all use a well deserved break from reality every now and then. I cannot believe it is already spring… next thing you know it will be summer…and the 1 year anniversary of TCP!Also my 18th birthday, but who’s counting. :p Speaking of turning 18, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Greg!! (My awesome web manager guy) I hope you have a fabulous day, and may this year bring you the best days of your new life as an adult (at Stanfordin the fall might I add!)
I have been doing cardio almost everyday, my body is exhausted! Although, it has been an adventure each day. Running along the beach is so much fun, I feel very thankful to live in such a beautiful place! The weather is so nice here as well, seems like summertime might come a bit early. :p
On Sunday a big group of the Takedown Challengers and I will be embarking on another hike around here. I don’t know what to expect, but I am sure it will be just as great as all my other hiking experiences. I feel like I have gotten to be a much stronger runnner these past few weeks. I am able to keep up with the crew these days. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment and I hope my body enables me to keep it up! I’ll be sure to post about the hike afterward to tell you how it went. Last Sunday we went to a big recreational park where they had horse trails and stables, and it was a few miles wide. Such a pretty sight, I had no idea this place even existed around here! It was in Irvine not too far from where I live. I will try to get some pics up, as technologically inept as my dad is, he managed to snap a few pics of the scenery. :p
I have to confess something though…as much as I have been working out, I haven’t really kept up my stretching and brace wearing. :/ I need to get myself back on track because this is not a good pattern!! Yikess. I definitely don’t want to go through castings again…just gotta pull myself together a bit. It’s just all a big part of life with CP I guess. so have to remember to give my therapist a call, she is probably wondering if I fell of the face of the earth. :p
I am excited for next school year though (already, I know) But mostly because I will be a senior, and I might join ASB! Some of my best friends are on it and they said I would make a good addition, so I think I am going to apply for Commissioner of Community Service, pretty self-explanitory..but the position would just mean that I am in charge of representing HBHS at charity events, community service activities, that ASB attends. It might be a good idea to do something for UCP-OC, who knows, they might need a number of school spirited teens to support their cause at one point. 
I was also chosen to be a part of NHS National Honors Society for next year, and my amazing English teacher is the leader, I am so excited!’s a pretty special thing, only 20 seniors are involved in representing our school for it! It will be gratifying to get involved in the community and the school especially, since it is my last year! I have to make it the most memorable that’s for sure!
So I feel like I’m a little delayed and repetitive in my posts lately…are there any burning questions or topics you’d like to discuss? I’ve pretty much talked about CP related stuff in the past, but I know I’m only one in millons of teen with CP…so if you’re out there and always wanted to talk about a certain something you noticed, dealt with, confronted–anything CP related..just comment on this and see where it takes us! Thanks!
I’ll be on soon, hopefully with pictures of the hikes.
