About Me

Most of you don't know much about me so I figured that I would write a post about who I am and what I am about!

My name is Katie and I am 26 years old, yes I am really only 26!   I reside in the GTA in Ontario with my almost 8 3/4 year old son (he likes to be specific).

I am a college student entering my 7th consecutive year of college and am thrilled hat this is my last year! I am currently studying Developmental Services because I have a strong belief that everyone deserves to be treated equally.

I gave birth to my son at the sweet age of 17 and have solely raised him since birth.  My son is the reason that I don't give up and push further in every aspect of my life.

I vowed that when I had my son I would still get to achieve the things that teenagers do.  I went to prom, graduated high school and have graduated college soon to be 4 times. I was tired of the stereotypes that were placed on young parents and wanted to challenge each one that I encountered..... Guess what?? I overcame them all and I did it without support :)

I am passionate about advocating for those with disabilities, autism, equality, and much more!

I have been through the ringer and have lived to tell the story, my posts are my own and are not meant to upset anyone but for others to relate and maybe learn to tell their stories too. I will also be doing giveaways once I learn more about the blogging world.

I can be found on twitter chatting in parties, scoping out sweet deals at the grocery store or being told off by my son who has an IQ as big as the moon!

Follow me on my journey through life as I deal with everything from a-z and back again.  If you have anything that you would like to ask, feel free to comment and I will happily respond.
