My Perfect Imperfections

I can’t talk. I can’t walk.  I’m alive, but am I living? My name is Lily Cooper, and I have cerebral palsy.  I can’t seem to control my muscles. My body refuses to cooperate. I may be confined to my wheelchair, but my mind is sharp and I’m stubborn as hell. I will not allow my disability to define me. I will pave my own path in life. I choose strength. I choose to live.
