Heeyy thaaarr. I’m Gracey. I have a disease which no one has really heard of. If you’re wondering its called FA which is known as Friedreich's Ataxia. It hasn’t affected me yet too much. But on top of that I recently caught Lyme disease which sucks because that effected my walking with the FA more than ever. I began to deal with it the more I thought of it made my life low so I decided I won’t really think of that lame stuff, I plan to live through it even if I do unfortunately end up in a wheal chair my whole life its better than any other lifestyle I could think of I’d rather suffer through this than being blind or deaf or even not having legs or arms and have people stare 20xmore, I see some reasons of why I would let it bring my world down, but why think of bad stuff like that when I have the rest of my life ahead of me. I have a few years of more school ahead of me and some other fun stuff like being with some good friends. I have my good couple of friends, neighbors, and teachers I’ve had and still have that I like talking to about mostly anything. Sometimes but very rarely I talk about my disease to them or anyone unless I’m telling them I have FA, that’s really it.  Like The Beatles song, I get by with a little help from my friends is just my life song I guess in a way. Because there always there and they cheer me up more than anything. But of course my family does too. 

People have told me I’m a tuff kid and I’m brave with everything I put up with. I guess I agree with what I wrote above. My attitude toward all of this is just alright whatevs if they can do it I can too! Other than that part of my life I get around. When I’m in school, I do the work chat with friends and maybe pull a little prank on a mean teacher and I have never got caught (haha =D) all of my teachers say they love me and I’m such a great kid which I do agree. When its lunch time I rather spend more time talking to friends then eating. When schools over for the day me and some friends stay after and go visit our favorite teachers from over the past years and talk about stuff, tell jokes, laugh about funny stuff we had done when they were our teacher and have a good time! On the weekends sometimes I have a friend over and go somewhere meet up with other friends. Sometimes I just chill with my Leo Circle friends (neighbors) and play ball or anything really. But summer time is when Leo Circle is at its best. My neighbor has a 4^th of July party, then other nights some one has a fire and everyone comes out to talk and share the 4 1 1 / gossip about the people of Leo Circle which is the funniest part to me! They get so crazy they have flaming marsh mellows tossed around! I and my friends sometimes start a game of manhunt or flashlight tag.

 I used to play sports,soccer, softball, basketball and such  but soon after that my FA started to kick – in unfortunately so I stopped. But I play sports with my friends and family for fun not for school or recreation teams. Alright well I think I’ve said enough you’re probably not even still reading it still. Thanks for reading I appreciate it! And have a good day!PEACE =)
