Life has its us and its downs

I am attempting to turn the pages to a new chapter in life. I have always wanted to help people, and now I have been given the oppertunity to do just that. I have been signed up for the Advocacy Program through the American Diabetes Association. I will be able to speak to people about the everyday issues that arise when diagnosed. The fears and the disbelief, then the denial and many other stages of coping with it. I am also getting myself in tighter control with this. That way I am as healthy as I possibly can be not just for my sake but for my childs as well. I am proud to say that between the fundraisers and the meetings I am going to try my best and fight my hardest to get things in order for others and get things done as far as the legislation is concerned. I am a fighter and I can take it to where ever I want to. I can and I know this now. So all that is left to say is I will. It is an honor that the Association has given me and I will do my best.
