1. A loving, compassionate family, extended family, church family, school family, leadership family, and exercise family. They are my rocks, and without them I have no idea where I would be.
2. Having the privilege to be in school and on my own. In a lot of countries, this isn't necessarily attainable by people in my condition and in some they don't even bother to educate them.
3. Having a place to live. This is the second biggest one to my family. There are so many people homeless and they don't know where they are going to stay day-to-day and my heart breaks for them.
4. Having clean clothing and water. Having been to Brazil and Jamaica, I realize sometimes it's the simple things that make me well.
5. I have 4 jobs (school, self-advocacy, Albertson's, and self-direction) and do volunteer things often in the community and at church and I love every second of it! And I think that's a gift as well.
