I mind my dad who has schizophrenia and has had it ever since he was a child. I have also learnt a life lesson; even though someone might have a illness or disease, it doesn't mean that they can't live life to the fullest.

I am 11, I care for my sister, she has M.S which is short for Multiple Sclerosis. M.S is something that makes the nerves a lot slower. My sister has it in her legs, so she cannot walk, she has to stay in a wheelchair all day.

When I was just a kid I asked my Mum a question about my sister who has Down Syndrome. "If Sandra has Down Syndrome and can't talk, would that mean if she had 'Up Syndrome' she would be able to talk?"
