Yesterday, was a very special day.  I was invited by Dr. Harry Webster, Chief of Pediatric Rehabilitation at Tufts Medical Center, to speak at a fundraiser in Newton, MA for Melissa & Matthew Bastianelli, two amazing kids who have Cerebral Palsy.  I was honored to be a guest speaker at this event, which was attended by over two hundred of the Bastianelli’s family and friends, and the evening was a great success.  It was so nice to meet Melissa and Matthew, and the entire Bastianelli family.  Melissa and Matthew’s uncle sang a beautiful song in Italian to his niece and nephew, and it was nice to feel a part of such a meaningful event.  I was a little nervous to speak at first, and I was surprised to have received a standing ovation, and even more surprised when the Bastianelli family presented with an “Above and Beyond Award - for outstanding contributions towards expanding awareness of Cerebral Palsy”.  It meant a lot to me, and it made the night even more special.  I was proud to present the Bastianelli family with a check for $300 which was raised for them through ColtonCares.com.  They are a very nice family, and they deserve to have everything they need for Matthew and Melissa.  All in all, it was a great night and a lot of fun.  Thank you to the Bastianelli family, and Dr. Webster for including me in such a special event!  I’ll be posting pictures on my site very soon!

Today, I had Mix-It-Up-Day in school. Mix-It-Up-Day is when you sit with different people at lunch to try and make new friends. It was good. Most of the kids I sat with I already knew. My mom thought something was up because when I came home she smiled at me and I’ve been smirking all day. But nothing is “up” at school.

Today, I was sick which meant I didn’t go to school. All day I was in bed sleeping coughing ALL day. My throat and chest hurts a lot. Also, today is my mom and step-dad’s anniversary. I got them a 1,000 piece puzzle, it should be very hard. Also, my grandmother watched me while my step-dad took my mom out to dinner and to the movies. It was too bad the pats lost, I’m bummed.

Today, I hung out with my friends at school but it was hard to catch up to them sometimes. Also, I went over my cousins house after school. I had a lot of fun with them but I was also tired after. GO PATS!!!

Today in school I had Math Support Block and we changed seats. Math Support block is when my whole grade gets divided into different rooms and we work on Math. Right now we play the Stock Market game. You go online and take stocks out on different companies. We also did some worksheets on decimal patterns. It was pretty simple.

Also, on March 8th, I am going to a fundraiser to talk about my disability. It should be fun, I can’t wait.

Last night I slept over my step-grandmother’s house. It was fun. I played Guitar Hero. I’m not too good but I am practicing on a daily basis. On my way home I got MacDonald’s. When I got home I felt something in my tooth. I got a toothpick and got it out but when I was putting the jar back I grabbed the lid by mistake. Again, the lid came off and all the toothpicks fell. I was so frustrated.

 Happy New Year! Good luck if you stay up until 12:00.
