Although Brittany's dissability doesn't prevent her from running or walking there are some disabilities that do. Being able to walk and run is a priviledge that we have and some kids don't get that. Some people can look down upon a wheel cheel but then again there are some that don't and try to make the best of their life in a chair!


Today I just wanted to talk a little bit about the girl a "buddy-sit" and her syndrome. Brittany has Williams Syndrome, I'm not sure about every little detail that effects her but I know that no matter how may things that could bring you down, she won't let them. And, no matter how many things that maybe wrong you would never be able to tell with her. Brittany is 23 years old, and it takes her a little more time to accomplish things but she still has the determination to get them done! Britt is 3 years older than me but we graduated highschool the same year and she is taking college classes at a community college near our home town. Honestly, I see Brittany as a normal girl. She has more boyfriends than I can keep track of, she loves animals, she enjoys to horseback ride and bowl! She's just like each and every one of us but with a disabilty that might as well not be there! Brittany inspires me.

A lot of people look down on disabilites. I went home this past weekend and helped with the disabled children at my church and realized how happy these kids were. I have never really noticed it before but it was awesome to sit back for a minute and watch. It almost was if they didn't have a care in the world. After realizing it just made me wonder why so many people look down on this, or pitty them when they should be pittying us. We're the ones who take our life for granted; They cherish every minute of there's.
