This is a video of the new workouts I have been trying at Project Walk. I am proud to announce that I have regained some movement in the quad area of my legs. I can bend my legs towards my chest about 25%. I will strengthen this new movement with continued exercise that focus on this location and some other dormant muscles. You can see the new movement in the video. If you would like to donate and assist me in my fight, please visit www.helpjenwalkagain.com. Thank you for your continued support.
Hey everyone!
As everyone knows, it is back to school time! Tear* tear* Now the summer fun is over and time to get back into the normal routine.
I am now attending San Dimas High. I seriously miss St. Lucy's and I wish I was allowed to go back. I know life has to go on, but I’d rather be there than at a school where I am new to and don't know anyone. This year was going to be SENIOR year with my friends… worrying about Prom or Homecoming or starting to drive and of course graduation along with grad night… but of course those things aren’t a priority in my mind anymore…
The first day was the hardest; finding the right classrooms and being the 'new girl' all over again. I have to admit I was filled with mixed emotions and just could not grasp the situation-leaving the school where all my friends are to a school I barely know and on top of that... it is socially awkward. Everyone stares... it is one of the hardest things that I have ever had to deal with to this day... but what else can I do?
Anyways, I am taking four class at school- Government, AP Calculus, AP English, and Spanish 3 (well for the first semester I am a Teacher’s Assistant, the second semester is when I actually take it). Since my Religion classes did not transfer as credits for San Dimas, I am taking an additional 30 more credits at home. I get 1 credit a week and do various subjects each week. This is the only way that I can get all the credits to graduate and still do therapy. So my new schedule weekly is....
MondaySchool 7:30-12 Casa Colina3-5 pm
TuesdaySchool 7:30-12 Casa Colina3-5 pm
WednesdaySchool 7:30-12 Project Walk3-6 pm*
ThursdaySchool 7:30-12 Casa Colina3-5 pm
FridaySchool 7:30-12 Project Walk3-6 pm*
*Thank you gain to all my donors and angels who make Project Walk therapy possible.
And with the drive being over an hour and a half each way to Project Walk, I am going to do homework in the car... hope I don't get to dizzy!
I hope everyone had a beautiful, relaxing summer! And I wish everyone to have excellent school year! And to my senior classmates... I CAN'T WAIT TO GRADUATE! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
