 When Rosemary was born, the doctor asked her parents, “What will you do with her?” Her parents looked at each other and thought he was crazy. The ignorant physician asked because she had brain damage, which resulted in cerebral palsy. Ironically, her brain was damaged because of his clumsiness; he bumped my head while he was delivering me. So, he presumed she would be a vegetable for the rest of her life.
With the help of love and patience from her parents and friends, Rosemary has proven that doctor dead wrong. For every limitation she has, she has been able to overcome it in one way or another. Even though she cannot walk, she uses a motorized chair so she is free to go wherever she wants. Although she cannot talk, she uses a word board to communicate quite eloquently. Although she cannot use her hands to perform daily tasks, she uses a head pointer to type.
Despite all her limitations, Rosemary has been able to accomplish a great deal during her life so far. A year after graduating Cleveland States University with a B.A. in Communications, she became a monthly columnist for Sun Newspapers in Cleveland, Ohio. Her column, Bit Of A Challenge, has been the paper’s most popular column, running for ten years. She also had articles published in The Plain Dealer. In addition, she has written poetry since she was 11.
Besides establishing herself as a writer and a poet, Rosemary has pursued her dream of traveling. She has visited Italy (4 times), Germany, Austria, and France. During one of her visits to Italy, she even met the Pope! Throughout the rest of her life, she plans to continue to see the world as much as possible.
