Dwarfism Awareness!

Morning. It's morning, everyone! Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are gonna get out of...(name that movie!). 
Hey y'all so I'm in a movie kind of mood because something very exciting is happening here for the next few weeks, or months. So in case you didn't know I am now a student and Metropolitan City State College. Yupp and guess who goes to school with me? Morton Schmidt and Greg Jenko. Still don't know who they are? Maybe you know them by their real names, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Yupp, Tulane University is the set of 22 Jump Street, the sequel to 21 Jump Street. Needless to say I am on the hunt for Channing and Jonah, maybe he'll come to the showing of This is the End tonight? Fingers crossed! 

Along with 22 Jump Street, today marks the beginning of Dwarfism Awareness Month. That's right, October is Dwarfism Awareness Month so everyday this month I will be writing a post or creating a vlog or a little of both. Inspiration Wednesdays will not be a part of the daily posts so on Wednesday be on the look out for two posts not one. 

I am proud to be a dwarf, I truly am. While I'm not going to say that there are some days when I wish I was taller, or simply wish I wasn't a dwarf, I wouldn't trade my small body for anyone else's any day of the week. If I wasn't a little person, I wouldn't have LPA in my life, I probably wouldn't be an athletic trainer, I wouldn't have gone to Detroit, Brooklyn, Orlando, Nashville or DC for the best weeks in my life. I wouldn't have some of my best friends or my twin by my side and I certainly wouldn't be writing this blog. 

So what's in store for the next month? Posts about anything and everything whether it's a day in the life or something more serious, I'll write it. In the mean time, my challenge to you is to wear the color of Dwarfism Awareness Month which is green. Any shade of green is acceptable all I ask is that you wear it at least one day this month. Send me a picture of you in your green and I'll post it in a blog post. You can send them to me at jicurwin@gmail.com. 

Till tomorrow!
