Life is Good

Author’s Note: I chose to write my piece about my cousin Jesse because there have been some pretty interesting stories about him lately so he has been on my mind a lot. This is what I have so far, I plan on adding more later, when I can think of more ideas.

Jesse<3 

It’s weird walking through the halls of middle school, seeing girls crying or getting really upset about boys and friend drama. I have a cousin named Jesse; he is probably one of the happiest people I have ever met. He has a wonderful family, two brothers, a mom and a dad. Some of his favorite things are bananas, enchiladas, dogs, fish, fireworks, the computer, and taking pictures. Lots of people are like Jesse, relating to the things he likes; his home and family life, but there is one difference that Jesse has, he has autism. 

He’s not able to speak his mind freely. He’s not able to eat hardly any of the things we can. He gets lots of stomach aches and is not able to tell anybody. This is only a tiny list of problems people with autism, like Jesse, have to deal with throughout their lives. People should be grateful  for the lives they have because someone somewhere in the world will have it worse, and is still living their life like there is no tomorrow.
