The Journey Begins

Hi,

        My name is Anika Nath and I am 15 years old. I am going to be a sophomore at Stoneham High School this fall. I live in Stoneham Massachusetts with my parents and my younger brother. My family is originally from India, but my brother and I were born in USA. I like playing games, listening to music, riding my bike, and making computer animations. I have a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy (CP) since I was born. As a result, I have a hard time in walking, speaking, and doing fine-motor activities such as writing. However, I am taking all regular classes in school and doing the same work as my peers. Now is that a challenge? Well, of course it is! But do I love the challenge? Well, of course I do!

       I always have so many thoughts about life – my problems, school, CP, etc. My favorite pastime is to think about them over and over again and keep these memories fresh in my mind. Some of those thoughts are very special and meaningful to me. However, I never was able to write them and get them out to the rest of the world. I guess that I never had a place to write these things down. But now that I have started this blog, I can share all of my thoughts and ideas.

Thanks for joining me on this exciting and action-packed adventure!
