Stories: Living with Spina Bifida

Daily’s Story—In her own words

Daily is an adult living with spina bifida. She shares her story of how she can do anything anyone else can do, she just does it in her own way. Read more below.

My name is Daily, and I am currently 19 years old. I was born with spina bifida. I have had so many surgeries that I have lost count myself. I am currently in a wheelchair. I really don't consider myself any different than anyone else. I can do everything a walking person can do, just in my own way. When I was born, my mom was told that I wouldn't make it. And boy, did I prove them wrong. I just recently graduated high school, and I am getting ready to start college. I am so excited. My major is Early Childhood Education.
