Hi
I have some horror stories. It it is so unfair but remember those days well.
Sometimes I have to honestly say it was the teachers who were the wrost towards
me. easpecially in high school when I became much sicker. they didn't know how
ill. Just that I missed a lot of school, coughed a lot, couldn't run, and
gurgled. I can tell you high school they treated me like dirt, well some of them
anyways.

The teachers were far worse to me in high school, a few of them, then the
students. I am 31 so it wasn't that long ago. TXed at 26and on 02 at 19. I'd
love to go to the press and tell everyone how some of these REVERED teachers
treated me. The thing was. There was a kid was cancer. He was sick and dying but
b/c you could outwardly see how sick he was they bent over backwards for him and
they made fun of me and my cough and gurgles.

years. She absolutely loves cheerleading and is her motivation to get up for
school when she feels bad. When Make-A-Wish asked her what she wanted, she said
she wanted to be a high school cheerleader. That's how much it means to her.
Tryouts for next year were last week. She was fighting a respiratory infection
and didn't perform as well as she could. Due to her low try out score, they
didn't put her on the team next year. I asked the principal to make an
exception since she has been a dedicated member of the team for 2 years. She
said no. She said she simply didn't have the score and wouldn't be put on the
team. My daughter is absolsutely devasted. You would think the school would be
more lenient to someone with CF. Anybody have any suggestions?
