Hello Felice Vaiiana,
My name is Kathy Jo Pink . I'm 33 and from the U.S. Welcome to this
list! I am one of the administrators or I was. What's a mentor?
have Cerebral Palsy. To me, having it is NOT okay. (I know I will get
a lot of e-mail because I said (wrote) this . From the time I was age
ten to age twenty-nine, everyday I was told that I would walk and get
over C.P. later in my life...
