True story

I would like to write one remarkable true story about a girl who has cerebral palsy.For those who don't know about this condition, this is a group of disorders that can involve brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. There are several different types of cerebral palsy and hers is severe. At the beginning her mother used to teach her different colours, numbers and alphabet. Because she coulnd't speak at all it was hard for the mother to detect whether she was taking it in or not. At the end she came to a conclution it was a waste of time teaching her all those things and she stopped. When the girl was about 15 years old, her two sisters decided to decorate her room and they started taking her things out of the room and when they came to take the alphabet board from the wall they saw their sister was staring at that board from her wheel chair and it seemed she was trying to spell a word. When they observed her more closely she was spelling PLEASE TALK TO ME . Surprised they were they quickly called their mum to tell the news. Her mum felt so bad she had given up on her. All those years she had been trying to talk to them and they viewed her as a brain damaged person. But most importantly she did't give up on herself, she had been teaching herself how to read from her sisters school books over the years hoping one day she would be able to communicate with them. Thankfully now she is getting the attantion she deserve from her family.
