Start of the summer post

-
Hi guys, I'm back blogging finally!

It's not like I don't like blogging but i just find even thinking about blogging a task, it's not I don't like  it, its always because I don't have time or the fact I can't think of anything to write about!

So the summer holidays has just started, where has this year gone. Feels like it has flown by, this time last year I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. However I am really glad I got my place in National Star and made lots of progress. Looking where I am now, I have grown in confidence and strength and I am making more decisions for myself. I think i'm doing so much for myself independently now and doing more now that this time last year I wouldn't ever think I would do for myself. This is the best thing I have got out of going to college.

 I think I couldn't believe how quickly the summer came around. I was looking to a nice break at home but I was stunned and extremely pleased with myself with how well I have done this year. Now I am focussing on what was a important to me before I went to college, not forgetting all of the amazing skills I have put under my belt this year. I can't believe i'm going into my 2nd year in September, it just feels mad

In the last 20 years, I can honestly say this has been the best year of my life, I have had lots of amazing moments in my life however I think this comes at the top of my list.

If you are new to this blog, I only use this from time to time preferably when I have a bright, fantastic new idea but most of the time I relate on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram when I have something to share, so please follow my other social media accounts but I will blog when I have time.

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Part 1

  Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled  Hey my lovely readers... Hope you are well. As some of you may know, I wrote a book a few years ago however, I couldn't get my head around getting it published so I thought long and hard about how to share it with you all. Therefore, I thought about sharing one chapter a week on my blog, so this week I will publish the "All About Me" and the first chapter.   This was written in 2018, so some of details may not correspond to what you know of me today. All about me: Abbie Smart Hi, my name is Abbie Smart.  I was diagnosed with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy at the age of one, after I had a fit when I was born.  It was recognised because I wasn’t reaching my milestones, such as crawling, walking at all or talking as well as I should have been.  I am a wheelchair user and I use a walker.  I drive my own wheelchair and have done since I was 6 or 7 years old.  I attended mainstream primary and secondary school and have achieved 5 G

  A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit  Hi my lovely readers, I hope you are well.  I know I have done a blog like this before, but I realised that I have been attending my adaptive CrossFit class for a year now, so I thought about doing a blog post about how I am finding it.    I can't  believe it has been a year already, it has a gone so quickly, I have the best time in the sessions and achieved so much in a short space of time, it has been incredible.     Over the past year, I have loved going to the adapted classes, I have enjoyed meeting new people with a wide range of disabilities that have become very good friends. Also I have been able to become stronger in my workouts and been able to achieve things that I felt that it wouldn't have been possible, for example, trying out my friends Rollator. This was one my many highlights of the year ! All of the sessions has made me feel stronger and more mobile. It has helped me to branch out socially with people with a wide range of disabil

My Time With Whizz-Kidz

           My Time With Whizz-Kidz Hi, my lovely  readers, hope you are well.   After my 26th birthday, I moved on from a wonderful charity that  supports children and young people called  Whizz-Kidz, as  I  have grown out of their  age bracket.  However I couldn’t finish this amazing charity without writing a blog about how great my experience has been over the years and talk about the fantastic support I have been given over the years from the start, whether this is support with equipment or help with work placements.   I have absolutely loved working the staff and meeting lots of people with similar disabilities as me, as well as learning about different disabilities along the way.  When I think back on what I have achieved during my time at Whizz-Kidz, I think of the successful work placements which I did face-to-face or online via Zoom. Especially when we were in lockdown, Whizz-Kidz kept me very busy either with a work placement which I completed online, or with a intriguing club
