Description
This is an extraordinary autobiography relating to a young Womans experience living with Cerebral Palsy and its accompanying seizures. Shelley OLeary addresses her affliction in a realistic manner in that she acknowledges her physical status with a commitment to overcome her deficiency and a determination not to admit failure. With her God-given gifts of empathy and kindness, Shelley has served as a Role Model for the children she cares for on a daily basis in an educational forum. She has been blessed with the support of the medical community, her friends, co-workers, and, most importantly, her Family. When told that she would never be able to attend higher education, Shelley refused to despair and decided to tackle head-on a college curriculum on two separate occasions. This refusal to give in to self-pity has culminated in her acquiring two Associate Degrees, one in Business Management, and the other in Therapeutic Recreation. Shelley works at the prestigious Morrison Center for the Physically-Challenged in the Greater Portland, Maine area. As you read her story, you will attest to her "never say die" attitude and her childhood mantra, "My Do It!" Shelley Lynn OLeary demonstrates having the "heart of a lion" and is an extraordinary example of a willingness to overcome any and all obstacles.
