” “Enjoy Life and live with purpose”-Amy Roloff

On Monday night I had the opportunity to meet a very amazing person, Amy Roloff. For those who may not know who she is, she is the mother from  the TV series  ”Little People Big World.” Mrs. Roloff was the speaker at a dinner I went to, I’ve never heard anyone speak the way she spoke, she spoke  straight  from  her heart! She said “Everyone has challenges and opportunities, what makes people different is how they handle them and let them affect their attitude.” I could relate to her because she has challenges from being a little person and I have physical and learning challenges. She has inspired me to rise above my challenges with a positive attitude and to  turn those challenges into opportunities!

Thanks to Mrs. Pelli (my HOSA advisor) for inviting me to an awesome event!

We all have a certain friend in our lives that touch us way deep down in our hearts and make  us the person that we are today! I would like to introduce to you my best friend Lauren Moore, Lauren is a friend who even though she has so much going on in her life she always makes time for me. She listens to my problems and always lends a hand with different projects that I have.  Infact she went above and beyond the call of duty as my campaign manager when I ran for HOSA State Office.  Not only did she make posters, fliers , study cards to help me prepare  she helped out with my powerpoint presentation but she also bought me a Ty Hippo and stitched HOSA Hippo  on the belly! That’s one thing Lauren and I have in common stuffed animals and that Hipppo was my good luck charm at States and it means a lot to me!

Lauren is somebody I can always count on! I hope I’m as good a friend to her as she is to me!

Here’s to you Lauren! Thanks for being such an amazing friend!

Hello Michigan HOSA! I hope everyone is having a great summer I know I am! My name is Laura Catherine Moyle I am your post- secondary vice president.

I would just like to tell you a little bit about about myself, I was born with Spastic Cerebral Palsy.  My mom was in a car accident when she was pregnant with me, the car accident caused me to have damage in the right side of my brain which affected the whole left side of my body. I have a crippled left hand/arm, shortened left leg which causes me to have a slight limp and I’m blind out of the left side of each eye.

I would also like to tell you who I have in my family there’s Mom, Dad, my older brother Adam and my younger sister Erin. You know we can’t forget about man’s best friend, our dog Buddy! That’s pretty much my family!

I hope to get to know you, also, as the year goes on!
