There are so many questions about cerebral palsy. “What causes cerebral palsy? Where does cerebral palsy affect? Can cerebral palsy be cured?” A lot of questions have been answered, but some of the answers to questions are unknown. Some people who have CP are still able to walk and talk while others can’t. A few people can do certain things with their feet. Most of my brain damage appeared in the motor area. There are different muscles I can control better than others. In my book, I created a story to help to give everybody a better understanding. 

“Out in the middle of the ocean, visualize 650 navy ships line up as a stickman human figure. That is how many muscles there are in our body. A circle head. Long body with ten fingers and toes. The head captain on the first navy ship sends you out to an island located in the head of stickman. The island is like where our brain is located in the body. You put on a heavy radio backpack and climb into a small boat in the middle of a storm. A bunch of loud thunder and lightning. Once you arrive, you notice the radio broke. There is no time to go back to the ship and get another radio. After several minutes of messing with the radio, only certain channels work. Each ship has its own channel. Would you be able to transmit messages to all 650 navy ships with just a certain number of channels? There is absolutely no way. It would be nearly impossible. That is how the cerebral palsy brain works. Person ended up with a half broken radio. That explained why each individual with cerebral palsy is different. There are body parts I have more control over than others. My radio mostly works with the ships around the island. I can move my head, eyes, nose, jaw, and neck really well. The rest of my body, not so much. Some people with cp are lucky to have most of the channels working. Living in a body of severe cerebral palsy is like being stuck on an island with a broken radio.”
