I am a great girl, just ask! My name is Misty but, my friends call me MD. I am 26 years old and I live in Minnesota!! I was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and I have significant lower extremity weakness and atrophy with plasticity requiring bilateral ankle AFOs and a walker for ambulation. I also use a wheelchair for mobility. I have felt that having this disability has been a learning experience and every day is a new challenge. Despite this being a challenge, I am still very active. I have a background in Child and Adult Care and Education from St. Cloud Technical College.

What should I say about myself? Well, I'm quite obstinate in getting things my way especially when I think it's the right thing to do. I'm quite a perfectionist, but when I strongly believe I'm wrong, I never hesitate to apologize. But sometimes, I have a strange way of getting away from things. I'm independent and always have been. I learned to do things my way, that's why I don't really like if somebody points out to me the things I should and shouldn't do. But I do listen and go over the things that were said to me, the things that were advised to me.. I listen to them 'all-ears' because I know they impart a wisdom I would never have known if they weren't pointed out to me. I have my share of ups and downs. I cherish the happy days of my life the same way I cherish life itself. The bad memories do bug me a lot and it wouldn't stop me from asking what I did wrong to deserve those. I may have grown accustomed to self-struggle, but I guess I always have the strength to get on with life

Green, trees, and chai tea...yoga, inscense, the journey to sunshine-ville HAHA oh to be me...

For those who LOVE me less explanation is needed; for those who HATE me, NONE is required.
