Corinne Faith here.  Corinne Faith Testerverdes.

I live in Coral Gables, Florida, with my family.  I am ten years old.  I have CP (cerebral palsy); have never walked; have always been in a wheelchair.  I also can't talk, but I CAN communicate, thanks to my expressions or better yet, my word board, which allows me to express myself.

Other than being disabled, I am more like you than what you may realize.  I dream, I paint or draw, write (takes me a little longer, but I can do it!), read, watch tv, and go to church.  I think Sundays are my favorite day of the week; I get so much out of church, and if I could sing, I'd sing the rafters off the church building!  Instead I sit there, wave my arms, and shout in a loud voice; it's my way of worshipping Jesus! :)

If people don't like how I sing, then they don't have to listen to it or move away because I am not shuttin' up!!

My favorite show on tv is "America's Got Talent".  Or it was before Kaitlyn Maher got booted off last week.  She was only four, but I think she had the voice of an angel!  If I could sing halfway as good as that little girl can, I'd be very happy!  I can't sing; I only make noise! LOLOL

Now I don't have nothin' to watch on television excepting for Nickolodeon or the Disney Channel, and that's more for teenagers; hardly anything Disney on there, which doesn't make sense!  It should be called the TEEN Channel, NOT the Disney Channel!  Stupid!!

School started up a few weeks back (I'm in the fourth grade), and other than a few kids making fun of me, I like it a lot.  I am doing well so far, and I pray this continues!

Well, I am at school now, and it's about time for reading.  I like the way Ms. Gilbeaux reads; her voice is snooth and silky, like a radio announcer's.  Very pleasant to hear, listen to!  I will go now; will write in here again!  Bye!
