Too Blessed To Be Stressed

               I've had diabetes for almost 5 years now and when I was in the end of 4th grade, some boys in my class teased me because I stink and that I had a disease. That year I was stressed. I came home and told my mom, Dorian that I'm stressed. My mom told me, "Kaya, you're too blessed to be stressed." Those words hit me and I've kept that in my mind everywhere I go! I was glad 4th grade was over. This year is better. I have two amazing teachers, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Robinson. I feel more confident in the 5th grade because I know that I have two teachers that are going to help me to be the best I can be. I know people think diabetes means I CAN'T DO anything they can do, but I know what I'm capable of doing what you can do, but better! So go out and have fun. You're different, but the  same.
Love, Peace, & Insulin
