Hey there, My name is Brianna....I am 24 years old that lives in South Dakota. I do have Cerebral Palsy. I live on my own and have two wonderful cats. I am well known around my town....I get comments from time to time about doing just about everything on my own. Some people look up to me, I guess. I do ask for help once in a while but, I love doing things myself...I had always said, if something gets in my way..I go around it, under or over it. There is always a way to do things even when you have CP.

I am going to DSU in about a month. I can't wait and I get a smile on my face when my family says they are proud of me. SSI is nice but, I want to work for my money and live in a house someday...Not an income apartment for the rest of my life. I wanna look back in 15 years and say "Yes, I did that and made something of myself."

If anyone wants to talk to me or have any questions, just shoot me an email. For moms or dads that have a child with CP and has questions...I'd love to help.

Hello!,
I also just joining this forum,
I'm new entered in forums, well it's a great opportunity to say hello to all the team members and join them with own thoughts and ideas....best of luck to all the beginners...
