Don't Limit Your Dreams!

"When I was diagnosed with autism and epilepsy at the age of 4 the doctors told my parents that I would never talk, or read, or learn. I would be their child for life. My family refused to accept that. Thanks to a lot of hard work today I am a college student, marathon runner, singer, music enthusiast, and a passionate public speaker. I want others to know that they should never limit their dreams. There will always be people who will doubt you and bring you down, but if you remain positive you can rise above them and succeed!!!! “
