Ek maak planne heel dag lank. Dit is my manier om my lyf te probeer in toom hou.
Planne werk soms.
Soms nie.
Dit is nie die einde van die wereld as ‘n plan nie werk nie.
‘n Ander plan sou ook nie vandag gewerk het nie.
Die beste is dat ek nie die terleurstelling toegelaat het om ‘n meltdown te raak nie. Dit is die heel beste plan as dinge nie volgens plan verloop nie.
Kommunikasie gee vir my die beheer oor my lewe wat my uit-beheer-lyf van my steel.

Nou wys my lyf my hoe ons hom onderskat het.
Om my te help met my lyf is my pappa en my sussie better as my mamma. Hulle help my baie mooi. Die beste is as hulle vir my help om my lyf te kry om ook goed op die plaas te doen saam met hulle.
Die heel beste vir my is toe hulle my gehelp het sodat die lyf van my die skape help trek het na ons winters plaas. Dit was die grootste prestasie wat ek nog behaal het met my lyf. My lyf het ons almal verbaas, die heel meeste van almal myself. Sonder my Sussie se hulp sou ons dit beslis nie kon reg kry nie. Sy het my so baie gehelp om my self in staat stel om my lyf te kry om op die regte tyd en plek, teen die regte spoed, die skape aan te jaag. Om die skape nie bang te maak nie, moes ek rustig bly. Om my lyf nie uit beheer te laat raak nie, is nie altyd maklik nie. Maar, daar in die buitelug, saam met my Sussie, agter die skape, was my lyf super rustig. Dit was die beste gevoel wat ek nog ooit beleef het.
Now we are where we have always dreamed of being.
My voice is still silent.
My body is still frantic.
My heart still aches over the lost time we can’t get back.
But our future is now more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed of being.
It took a very long time to get to this point, but it was worth it.
We have learned from our mistakes.
We have not walked an easy road to get to where we are,
We can’t say we have all the answers now.
We still must ask each other daily to understand why we want to do things a certain way. We learn not to make inferences simply on what we see, but to ask each other why we see certain things. If we don’t give each other a chance to talk about how we feel, we misunderstand each other.
It’s an important thing we all had to learn. We’ve got the hang of it now.
Nou is ons waar ons nog altyd gedroom het om te wees.
My stem is nog steeds stil.
My lyf is nog steeds woes.
My hart is nog steeds seer oor die verlore tyd wat ons nie weer kan terug kry nie.
Maar ons toekoms is nou mooier as wat ons nog ooit kon droom om te wees.
Ons verstaan mekaar nou beter omdat ons met mekaar kan praat.
Ons verstaan mekaar nou beter omdat ons met mekaar kan praat.
Al is ons nou op ‘n beter plek om mekaar te verstaan, ons leer nog elke dag van mekaar. Ons leer om nie afleidings te maak bloot op wat ons sien nie, maar om mekaar te vra hoekom ons sekere goed sien. As ons mekaar nie kans gee om te praat oor hoe ons voel nie, verstaan ons mekaar verkeerd.
My ideas are also important
Thinking about stuff is my hobby because it helps me relax. To be able to share my thoughts is a big thing. Being able to share your thoughts is your chance to test your thoughts . Because you can test it, you can think out even better stuff. Your thoughts count too, don’t be afraid to express it.
My wishes for 2023
We are much smarter now than we were at the beginning of 2022. We can now use the knowledge we have gained to help others, but also to plan my future. Time is really an issue. I therefore plan to take it a little slower with my schoolwork this year so we can find time to get to things other than schoolwork as well.
For 2023, it is my wish that my sister will realize how much we love her so that, wherever she goes, our love for her will make her strong.
My thoughts on 2022. Part 2
My victory with Elizabeth Vosseller (“EV”) at my old school. I am infinitely grateful to EV for coming to Worcester. I hope that her love for us non-speakers, will reach our friends who have not yet received their voices. She is a woman who really puts her heart into her work but uses her head to make plans to help us. She is humble about herself, but her work really changes lives. If I had a say in it, she would have already been rewarded a Nobel Prize a long time ago. II hope that her effort in coming to Worcester pays off so that we can give other non-speakers hope as well.
My thoughts on 2022. Part 1
I made it in a regular school. I can’t describe to anyone how big it is for me to be able to say that. EVERYTHING I HANDED IN, WAS MY OWN WORK. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of. Our breakthrough at the exam board: I am very happy that the exam board will give us a chance to be able to have all the help I need in the exams,
I am free (4)
We need it so much to not feel rejected while we are struggling with our difficult bodies. It’s not necessary for everyone to love me. The very fact that I can show the world who I am, with my words, is enough for me.. Getting to where I am now is a process. Time has been merciful to us. We can now look back and say that we took the time we got and healed.
Ek is vry (4)
Ons het dit so nodig om nie verwerp te voel terwyl ons so sukkel met ons moeilike lywe nie .Dit is nie nodig dat almal van my hou nie. Die blote feit dat ek vir die wereld kan wys wie ek is, met my woorde, is vir my genoeg. Om te kom tot waar ek nou is, is ‘n proses. Tyd was ons genadig, want ons kan nou terugkyk en sê dat ons die tyd gevat het wat ons gekry het en gesond geraak het.
