<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">So a little about my senior year, in my Senior English class we're reading <i style="text-decoration: underline;">Columbine </i> By: Dave Cullen. Let me tell you this book will send chills all over your body, make you cry, angry, hurt, and really gives you and idea of how that school shooting went down, how it changed the world, and how Post Columbine forever changed the world and School systems! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">The book is intense, chilling, gruesome, scary, and real! This is the real information about what really happened that day and years prior. But, it will definitely make you appreciate life and realize bad things really do happen. </span></span><br />

I graduate in 4 months I am 18 and I've become such a young adult. I am so scared honestly; and I don't know whether to be happy I am graduating or be sad!<br />
<br />
But I love my classes, last semester I had 4 computer classes and a Money Skills class!! :) EASY!! Although the money skills class was very useful! This semester I have my 3 required classes, English 4, College Math Readiness, and History of the Visual and Preforming Arts! My other 2 classes are computer classes, which is what I plan to major in, when I go to college! Also in September I got accepted into Somerset Community College! :) I am very excited! I never ever thought i'd make it this far!<br />
<br />
In my English class we have started reading "Columbine" a book that will forever change your life forever!!!!<br />
We've just started reading it, but I am hooked it has made me look at everything from a whole other perspective. You never really know somebody! Its scary to think about. . .<br />
<br />
But anyways on to my health, It has been pretty good here the past few days! My acid reflex has been really bad recently but it is getting better! I've lost quiet a bit of weight so I am trying to eat a-lot more too gain my weight back so I don't have to have a feeding tube! But it's okay. . . I will get better! Nothing is gonna get me down!! :)))))<br />
<br />
Oh well :)<br />

Graduation here I come! But, to say the least I am very scared. I can't believe I am ready to graduate & start college in the fall of 2012!<br />
<br />
Well anyways, I haven't posted in a couple days because I've been sick since the Christmas Day, I went to the doctor and I have strep throat, plus a major sinus infection. :(( Which really stinks with CF.<br />
<br />
I am actually very shocked they didn't mention taking my tonsils out, because this makes the 3rd or 4th time this year I've had strep.<br />
<br />
Being sick really stinks when you have CF because it usually takes twice as long to get over it, and it's usually twice as bad!<br />
Well I'm going to get some more rest and take some more medicine; since we start back to school Jan. 3rd. From Christmas Break.<br />
<br />
<br />
Peace, Love, & Breathe! :)Jerika Robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10619567931081308546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916298040462719296.post-52134004208392958512011-12-27T18:34:00.000-08:002011-12-27T18:34:23.199-08:00Blog#4 :)<div style="text-align: center;">Well today has been pretty rough; its been a bad "CF day" and also I have strep! :( </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I hate having strep today makes the 3rd time this year I've had it; but luckily they haven't talked about taking my tonsils out yet! I really hope that day never comes!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">My 5 year old niece had it done, and she did really well with it, although she had trouble swallowing! I definitely don't need to lose any more weight than what I've already lost some from this spinal surgery; It's not good on my CF for sure! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But anyways; I hope everyone has had a wonderful day, and a wonderful Christmas (: </div><div style="text-align: center;">My parents got me rain boots =D and a white gold diamond ring; and white gold earrings; (: </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have wonderful parents and I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are wonderful and mean everything to me; not just because they've bought some stuff but because they are wonderful; they've gave up everything for me, and to ensure that i'm as healthy as can be! :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My grandma was so beautiful I never heard a mean word come out of her mouth; she was always there for me ever since DAY ONE! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She never left my hospital bed, she was such a strong woman and she taught me how to be strong.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If it wasn't for her I definitely wouldn't be where I am today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I for sure wouldn't be as healthy as I am now! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not a day goes by that I don't think about her or miss her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She's such a tremendous role model and I never thought as a child I would lose my rock to lean on. :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been almost 7 years since she passed away, and it never ever gets any easier!!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But, I will do my best to get on as much as possible.<br />
<br />
For starters I am 18 :) and I have Cystic Fibrosis. One of my best friends Kelsey Becker<br />
( <a href="http://kelsey-becker.blogspot.com/">kelsey-becker.blogspot.com</a> ) inspired me to begin blogging :) I may want to beat her for this later, especially when I get addicted! HaHa<br />
<br />
Having CF can take over my life completely. But I always try to keep my head high and not let it bother me too much. Sometimes I have "a bad CF day" that's what us CF'ers call it when our stomach aches so bad we don't even want to move, we feel so weak that we can't even hold our head up, and we're coughing so bad and so much that you can't even eat because every time we put something in our mouth, we can't even chew it up for coughing like crazy!! Thankfully I haven't had a day like this in a few months!<br />
<br />
I have a wonderful family, wonderful friends, and a wonderful life! My household family consists of my mother, father, and my niece and my nephew. Now for a little insight about them 4 lovely people I live with;<br />
My Mother is my strength when I am weak, she has given up her whole life to make sure I can live happily and healthy, yes I admit I do take her for granted but I wouldn't trade her for anything on this earth! My Father is a wonderful man I am a daddy's girl when I want something, I go to him unless mom is around haha :) but I love my mom & dad!!!<br />
My nephew and niece are 11 and 5 we have custody of them and they are more less my little brother and little sister! I love them dearly and I would do anything for either one of them ;)) Seeing those two kiddos smile makes me happier than anything they both know they can come to me for anything and i'll be there no matter what! <br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways, this is my first blog as you can tell, hopefully i'll get a-lot better at it; especially with the help of my best friend Kelsey :)<br />
<br />
<i>Just remember me and 30,000 others are in the fight against CF do everything you can prayers, love, support or other donations are very important we are so close to a cure, lets make CF stand for Cure Found not Cystic Fibrosis :)))</i><br />

<i>"I am in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis, I may have CF but CF doesn't have me"</i><br />
<br />
<i>Just Breathe;</i><br />
