My Story
I'm going to write about me story. I have Scoliosis. I found
out somewhere in November 1999. Scoliosis means that the spine is not straight.
It is in an "S" shape or a "C" shape. When I found out I had it I thought
it was nothing. After the doctor told me it was something. He told me I
would have to wear a brace for 5 years. I'd have to wear it 23 hours a
day. I started to cry.
I started looking up braces on the computer. After seeing those braces,
I really was scared. How would I look? Would people make fun of me? Questions
ran through my head. Next the doctor showed me 2 braces. I chose the one
that wouldn't show through my clothes. Also so that I could breathe in
it. Still, I thought it was hot, ugly and embarrassing. When people ask
questions I sort of make up lies so they won't make fun of me. Well, I
still got 4 more years to go, then it's off.
Editor's Note: Do
you have a physical or health-related challenge

your experiences with
Breanna? If so, please email us

e-Pals!) :)
Sometimes it helps to know that you aren't
the only kid in the
world who has faced some scary things.
Who knows? Maybe
like Breanna, you too can help teach other
kids what it is like to
have a special physical or health-related
challenge, so they can understand and not be afraid.
