I was born on June 28,1999. Although i was sure to have an interesting life, I did not know what challenges I would face along the way. Doctors had diagnosed me with Cerebral Palsy when I was born.

Abraham Maslow once said, “In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step backward into safety.” My whole life I have had many medical issues typically preventing one from doing a lot of the “normal” things a child can do. But I truly believe that life is not about the circumstances you were given, but much rather how you choose to react to them. So growing up I have always managed to find a way to not let my disabilities hinder me from living my life like everyone else and defy the odds I was handed.

In order to maintain the confidentiality of the service user, I will refer to her as Daisy Chain and any personal information will be changed accordingly and not be used in conjunction with anything else other than this study.

In addition, I scored a one on seven out of the twelve questions and I completely agree with the assessment that I am extremely sleep deprived and an intervention is paramount. I function on less than 7hours of sleep. I care for my mother and me, although, she is in a rehabilitation nursing home. This might sound like it is a relief; however, it is quite the contrary. I work from home and spend many hours on the road trying to maintain a longstanding family business in property management.
