My Introduction

by Michelle Medina (michellem86) - 1 year ago

I was born with a rare birthdefect called a Tessier Cleft *a facial cleft*. I'm one of only between 10-20 people in the world who has it, though those statistics are from a while back. It was very severe, running from my cheekbones through to my nose and eyes, so I am blind. My Coach/Friend Kimberly helped me register. *If a security code hadn't been involved, I'd have used my speech program JAW's For Windows to help me read and fill out the form *Like I'm doing with my profile**.
I have a CockerSpaniel named Sadie and a Cat named KittyKitty. Though I checked that I don't have children, I do consider them to be my daughters and CAN'T WAIT to expand my family!
While I currently live here in Michigan, I desire to be moved to San Antonio Texas by April of this year, where my Dad's family lives and where I can have access to transportation finally! Right now I'm a home body, due to my lack of transportation, but certainly not by choice. I live with my Dad, stepmom, her 2 girls and my younger sister, so there isn't alot of transportation or time available! Smile. When I do get to Texas I plan to become a Humanitarian, though that's not a cut and dried profession to get into!
I love working with babies and animals the most. I'm also a public speaker and author.
I don't actually exercise *in fact, I don't use that word at all*. Instead I say that I MOVE, and I love going to rock concerts and moshing/singing my heart out and meeting up with the bands afterward. I also love dancing and singing along to the radio and that's my kind of movement! I drink maybe 3-4 times a year, though it's usually more like 1-2 most of the time, so occasionally truly means occasionally!
Feel free to assk me anything and use words like see, saw and watch, they don't put me off in the least.
I look forward to making some new girlfriends!
