Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Thank you for sharing your story as well. Both of the young ladies I relied on for this story were and are fighters! I applaud you for your work with your child. It's easy to give into the needs and forget to teach them how they can. Thanks again for the review and story of your own. I believe, too!!!!

This is such a beautiful and inspiring message, and a unique response to this prompt. Spelling out these beliefs in story form is a powerful way to express them so that others will read and be likely to identify. The story is heartwarming and will be inspiring to those who may have disabilities, know someone who does, or work with the disabled.

Thank you for the review and comments, and I did hope to reach out to people who have disabilities, no matter what those are, and to encourage those who are their caregivers or teachers! Gotta believe!

"and, I'm sure if you turn that incredible poem inthan that/then you will get a 100."......."that", or "then", you will get 100.
What a brave young lady Marybeth was in your touching entry for the "I Believe" contest, Anonymous Author. The fact is there are many in society today just like her, and the things they have to deal with on a daily basis makes most of our troubles seem trivial in comparison. They should be considered an inspiration to hope, to life, and everything it stands for.
Well done. I noted just one minor error...
Good luck in the contest. ~Dean

I loved this. I think I must be Marybeth's second greatest fan. It is utterly astonishing, the disadvantages that some people manage to overcome.

Awww, that is so sweet, and I'm sure Marybeth would appreciate your support! It does take a lot of belief to overcome the odds when they are stacked against you. Thank you, again!

Beautiful artwork. A nice list of things she believes. I like how it then goes into a conversation with Marybeth and her mother. Very creative father she has and a supportive mother. I like that you wrote this about a friend you grew up with.

Thank for the review and comments. The idea about the water technology came from a student I had who wished for the indoor water world because she could swim, but not walk. The typing from my friend. Thanks, again!

Very creative idea:)
Comment from Bill Schott
This is a moving story and a revealing poem and dialog. The intimating words spoken by the girl leave me wondering if she realizes that her condition is more one of maintenance and decline than looking ahead. To me this is a powerful story.

Thanks for the wonderful 6 star review, and yes, she understood, but teenagers always think things can get better. The idea about the indoor water world came from a student of mine who could swim, but not walk, so wished for a world where she could function by swimming. Again, thanks. You are great!
Comment from honeytree
I loved the art work for these words
The poem written was fantastic
the young girl should be very proud
in what she wrote.
The following words were very special
'I believe in my mother's support and my father's skill'."

Thank you so much for the six star review and the wonderful support and comments! The girl in the story ended up being a combination of my friend and a student, both of whom had incredible parent support. The friend learned to type to communicate, and my student had the idea about the indoor swimming area as she could swim, but not walk. Again, thanks. You are awesome!

This is a truly wonderful and inspiring entry for this particular 'I believe'competition, the reader gets an inkling that something was not quite right when Marybeth typed all her answers.
A really inspiring story and I wish you good luck in the contest my friend.

Thank you so much, Eric. It was a true story, but made up of two people. One was my friend who typed to communicate and a spunky student who dreamed of an indoor water world as she could swim, but not walk. Thank you so much.

Both awe inspiring young ladies who should be recognised, a pleasure to review this my friend.

Thanks so much!

The story is full of positivity . I like the poem very much . The characters are full of life as and enthusiasm. But the story script should be a little elaborated
