If I could change something

If I had the power to change something
By Charlie Rachel

If I could change one thing it would be to get up and walk as easily as everyone else, but I am grateful for my friends, family and places like the Arc that are able to help me through it all. There were times when my Doctors said I wouldn’t live long, but I have proven them wrong. I keep dealing with thing the best way I can. Because I am a fighter. That’s who I am.

There once was a chance I didn't take

I once had a chance when I was in school to go camping, but I didn’t take it because I was not used to being away from home. The teachers tried to talk me into it, but I kept saying no. As I look back on it today I wish I had taken the chance just once and gone. I realize now how much fun it would have been. If I should ever get the chance to go camping again. I will take it and have fun.
