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...
