"In my dreams, I can talk and my voice sounds like my cousins'." How sweet. She is so precious that I can't stand it.
She is only a few years younger than me and I get incredibly nervous ordering in the drive thru, lol. To see her bravely ordering in a restaurant without anxiety was great. She's so awesome and I hope she achieves everything she dreams. 💜
Thanks for your kind words Hungry Jezebel!
Couldn't agree more! I also found it so precious to see that the guy taking her order was so patient and took her seriously.
I’m sorry that happens to you my dear. When anxiety and nervousness happens this is the first sign that you gut microbiome is out of Oder. It’s very important to have the right types of bacteria in your gut. The gut and the brain are working together. 90% of your serotonin production happens within the gut. Lactobacillus Helveticus R0052 is just that bacteria to do this job. Lactobacillus Casie 01 is supper against any inflammation within the body. Especially within the intestines which can affect your nervous system. The good bacteria are communicators. They help our cells talk to each other. Along with the “hormone D3” which every cell in the body needs for communication. SOB probiotics are key for digestion. Best taken straight on the tongue and swallowing. Not in the gel cap. This is key for the breakdown of nutrition.
I could get into much deeper detail. But that is up to you if you would like more info.
I will suggest going to a naturopathic doctor. You won’t be sorry. I assure you that. Blessings to your day. I hope I find you feeling well. 💕
The main cause of silver palsy it's lack of oxygen during the birth canal when the baby is getting pushed
You go girl! My ex-boyfriend who is normally considered to be healthy in every way, is far more disabled than you ever were because he is unwilling to do anything productive at all. He is almost 30 and has been living in his parents' basement and doesn't see any need for change. I'm a adopted too, and I'm glad your parents really love you for all that you are and ever will be. Best of luck to you and your future!
this made me cry. I have cp as well. but it is very mild. still at times it can be very hard to cope with but lk Geneva I'm thankful that I am able to walk. Geneva is so smart. she inspired me.
Aw thanks for the kind words Alyssa Michelle, glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😊
@@AttitudeLive I think you are atractive Geneva , pretty name too my name is Shane , I am a 61 year old female , I was born with a Spina Bifida/ Hydrocephalus and a wheelchair user , I also have Fybromyalga which I have had since 201 take Care X
I fogot to say I love your Video Geneva XX
Same here Alyssa. I get really really down, but feel so blessed to be reminded that I can speak normally and have much less severe CP. Its a battle
My son is a CP warrior, with seizure disorder
I didn't know CP can be caused by lack of oxygen during birth, obviously I'm not very informed on this. What an amazing young woman! I'm 25 and barely made it through my bachelor's + master's and I don't have any disability. Mad respect!
Thanks for watching 30 Nights, hope you learned something in this episode!
I did, thank you!
Cp is caused by any brain damage or brain malformation before birth, during birth or right after birth during brain development, some cp is caused by oxygen deprivation or stroke during brain delopment also. I have mild cp caused by brain malformation during pregnancy. I was born with a smooth brain instead of ridges
It does because I have cp
Her parents are blessed to have such a smart, motivated and determined daughter. Great example for the young ones nowadays.
Thanks for watching Khalessi00!Hope you enjoyed our channel!
As an adult with Cerebral Palsy
I can understand some of Geneva’s situation.
I know without a doubt that she will accomplish
Anything that she sets out to with her life.
With the love and support of her family,
friends, and her community.
She has the strength and determination to do
Whatever she wants to do with her life!
It’s not about her disability, it’s about her
Ability to stand up for what she believes in
Which is herself!
I applaud you you lady
You are an amazing young woman!
Best of luck to you in whatever you do💚
You’ve got this!
God bless you always Sweetheart🙏❤️
Omg she needs her own tv show! She’s so cool! Really love this channel! I’m in the USA and stumbled upon it one day... we have nothing like this here it’s disappointing...
Thanks for watching Tiffany Anna
I’m just moved beyond words. I mean, she is the real deal. Her motivation and drive is as great and huge as that of an Arnold Schwarzenegger of professional athlete. You, my dear are what this world needs more of.
I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy and I've just graduated from high school this year. I'm going to start attending a community college to earn my Associate's degree in graphic design, I'm also going to learn how to drive sometime during this summer. No matter how cerebral palsy affects a person, it should never prevent them from achieving their goals and dreams. Even though I have limited use of my left hand, I am still able to do various things that able bodied people can do only in a different way adapted for me.
Kayla Pearl CP Ninja i look like a hemi cp im actually a tri(three limbed) and going to community college for graphic design and drivers ed as well
What a beautiful intelligent girl (she looks like the main actress from ''Jane the Virgin''.) I love how she's so positive despite her situation. I could learn a lot from her.
Thanks for the kind words Ummm Yeah!
Ummm Yeah truee like jane
She's amazing and beautiful and i agree she looks like Jane the virgin! 💜
I have Cerebral Palsy and I am 24 going in my last year of my bachlors so I understand this so well!!
Thanks for sharing and good luck for your last year!
How sad
@@babykevinxoxo Stop your pity. It is not sad. It is life, and we're making the best of it.
@@caroe9062 do you own RUclips? You dont have the authority to tell us what to do
@@babykevinxoxo you're right. I'm sorry, I meant no harm
What a beautiful spirit and peaceful attitude ❤️
wishing geneva all the best and success in her career.
Thanks for watching Shoshanna, we are sure she will go far!

Attitude no.u thanks...
Socheatta Khiev im also cerbral palsy child check my channel
CP here too
You inspired me to want to go back to school, and I do not have a disability. Bless you beautiful smart lady 😘
Great video. Congratulations Geneva. ♥️
i was wondering the whole time if she picked the narrator and was able to give feeback on the performance because it seemed so personal and real. and then at the end to see a session of exactly that for a few brief seconds was just the icing on the cake. such a wonderful video
Thanks Dr. Strangelove, hope you enjoyed!
This was so dope to watch! It's so refreshing to see a person of color with a disability out here shining and doing big things. Go Geneva, go! 💪💪💪
Thanks Courtney, Geneva is gonna go far!
...there are people out there -- that will never understand how much of a warrior you are -- you remind us all about compassion and the truth to believe in ourselves to do the impossible -- because you have !
I saw as a PhD this video and really had the idea; people like you can score high when finding way through life. It is that it sounds that you already have a job, but otherwise I would have looked around for opportunities. Thanks for your video. Mario Ouwens (feel free to contact me) Be proud, you are allowed
Wishing Geneva the best!!! This was an awesome story!!
This channel really inspires me to chase my dreams. I have mild cerebral palsy and am studying at mainstream secondary school. My condition depresses me a lot but watching these videos have made me realise that I can chase my dreams. I’m so lucky to have what I have
How does it affect you personally
What a beautiful girl with her infectious smile. She has gorgeous friends who help her so much. I have mild Cerebral Palsy. I am 50 years old. I have two kids of my own. I am a single parent. I have a super supportive my parents, and my relatives. I am indeed a blessing.
this is so inspiring, we love you Geneva!
Jeepers I absolutely love this channel. So motivational and inspiring. Goose bump material.
Thanks for those words Gareth! Hope you stay tuned!
Right you are sir!
I'm so happy this was made. I have cp and this encourages me so much
Have son with cp 13 months want to exchange experience with you please
Geneva's a beautiful girl. My best friend has CP too. Sh e has 3 college degrees and drives a van, yet can't find a job in her degree field because of people's attitudes. Her CP is very mild, but with my LD, I kinda know how she feels because with just 1 degree I also had trouble finding jobs too. One advice: don't move to a small town, especially in the South. People here are horribly backwards; even at the college where we met, they didn't thing she should go into teaching. They let a girl go into teaching who couldn't pass the teacher certification test, yet wouldn't give my friend a chance. Fortunately, after her 3rd degree, she passed and became a substitute teacher. She also worked retail before sh e got married, moved to a small town, and had her son. He's 15 now and doing fine so far.
Thanks for watching Virgina and for sharing your story. We hope you enjoyed and stay tuned!
I would love to see more from/about Geneva. She seems to have such great people around her 😍 I hope her dreams about a career in PR comes true! 💐
Thanks for the support Therese Thorup 😊
Her smile is so precious :') love this channel, I've learned so much for when I start clinical practice. Forever grateful.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Faraway - we wish you the best of luck for your clinical practice!
Watching her dance at the end brought a smoke on my face and tears of joy in my eyes.....touching!
I usually don't get emotional when watching RUclips videos like this, but this video and the video on Mackenzie Kench, both brought a smile to my face and a tear of happiness to my eye. I just subscribed to your channel and now I am going back and watching all the other videos that I have not watched yet.
My daughter has Cerebral Palsy this is so inspirational. Well done to Geneva! Parents are so proud and they should be.
Palsy is spelt wrong on the thumbnail!
Thanks for pointing that out Stephanie, we will make the change! Also we hope you and your daughter are living a happy & healthy life!
My niece is 5 years old and just had a focal seizure I wanted to ask anyone what should I look for when seizures come and did focal seizures happen to anyone else with cp on here I need some help I dont want to have her in to much therapy ot pt plus school if it can trigger seizures I'm scared God bless all of you
I really enjoyed getting a glimpse into Geneva's life. What a beautiful young lady.
Thanks for watching Carissa, hope you enjoyed!
She is so inspiring and courageous. I just realized I had watched this one before, but honestly I went ahead and watched it through because of how great she is. I do hope she sees how inspiring she is to others.
Thanks for watching Nicole, hope you enjoyed watching!
Her parents and family have done such an amazing job raising her, she is just beautiful and I wish her nothing but the best
Thanks Jacq1285 stay tuned 😊
She is such a good friend to her! Heck, she is a great friend!
Thanks for watching Joe, hope you enjoyed watching!
truly inspiring how geneva just gets on with her life and doesn't let her physical disability stop her from achieving her dreams! bless you girl and there are no limits!! xxx
Thanks for watching LAN 95, hope you enjoyed!
Videos like this help people like me who aren't educated. I am greatful for this video.. she is amazing..
You are a beautiful woman and I love your positivity. As someone with learning disabilities I understand what its like to struggle in school. Although you and I have very different disabilities, the desire to reach for your dreams and the determination to do so is something I very much relate to. I'm currently a special education teacher and although not full time, I love working with students with differences so that I may show them not only is it okay to be different, but that when one puts one's mind to something one can accomplish great things. Go ahead girl!
Thanks for your beautiful words of encouragement blumberg1982! Hope you enjoyed this episode!
This was so great to watch, and so well-done. Sadly, it's very easy to immediately look down on someone who is different. It's videos like these and interactions with individuals like Geneva that remind us that just because someone has a disability, that absolutely does not mean that they are beneath us, know less than us, or are less capable. I loved every minute of this, and think everyone should watch it.
Thank you Emily Waddington glad you enjoyed this episode
Thank you Geneva for sharing your story. Thank you Attitude for featuring this amazing woman. She has been such an inspiration to me. As a mom who cares for a child with CP it is always wonderful to see how other people\families handle the responsibilities that comes along with CP. Geneva and her family are simply amazing. Thanks again for renewing my faith and making me a believer in the power of love ❤️
Hi Tenille, thank you for watching. Geneva is a truly amazing young woman who will go far!
The more I watch these videos from Attitude, the more I realize that USA is horribly failing our disabled community.
Seeing examples from other nations on how to simply treat differently-abled people with dignity and watching them shine when held to a high standard is beautiful and really sets the bar high for us as well. I hope to see citizens of the USA treated with as much value as New Zealand and Australia treats all of their citizens. This is truly what being inclusive looks like. Much love.
What an inspiring young woman. She’s so determined and confident! I have unseen disability and watching her push away the prejudged line of disability makes me feel so good. Bless her she’ll make an exceptional communication officer!
What a beautiful young lady. Her smile lights up her whole world. May God Bless her and aide her way through whatever she wants to become!!!
Thanks for watching Sheila Perena 😊
Wonderful story as always, she's amazing and beautiful.
Thanks guys! Appreciate the support!
"I'm just the one with Australian accent!"
Brilliant! Loved this so so much!
Well done Genevieve, go on girl. My son also have cp you motivate me
What an inspiration for all of us with disabilities. My favorite part is when she was dancing on the Beach. Such a beautiful soul I hope she's doing well.
thanks again for educating us and highlighting the strengths of Geneva; for producing a show that focused on her the individual and the support/community she has around her. can't wait to see what happens next, hope you do a followup show on life after internship
Thanks for watching Maryj2k1, hope you enjoyed. We are sure Geneva will go far and will do an update in the near future👍
Go girl, you're an inspiration!!!
Thanks for watching Gregor, hope you enjoyed!
I looked up what Geneva’s doing these days and I’m glad to see she’s made her way in the world of communication! I’m sure she’ll use her experience to change the world for the better ☺️
What a wonderful, brilliant girl. Good luck to Geneva in her future endeavors!
Thanks for watching Sofia, hope you enjoyed!
Great to meet you, Geneva! I'd love to hear how you get on.
Thats exactly what you need too do lovely. Ignore everybody else and just focus on yourself, their opinion isnt what matters, its your own opinion that does. Well done beautiful ❤
Thanks for watching Slay Hunty!
The parents are amazing man just unbelievable whanau. And can't believe how much of a go better she is, all positive and that. I learnt loads watching this
Awesome! Thanks Kao Le'umu
What an awesome young woman she is.
Thanks for watching KittensAreEvil!
great to see such devoted loving parents
That smile…what a wonderful human being.
Geneva, I loved watching your video. I didn't want it to end actually. I have CP and you've inspired me. I'd love to get to know you and chat with you sometime. Keep up your perseverance and continue to strive higher. You're doing an incredible job!
God bless you!
Steve Weetman
What a amazing mother & father!!!! May God bless you all in your endeavors....
Amazing and inspiring story, watching the insight into Geneva and her life makes me want to volunteer as a disability worker. Such a beautiful woman inside and out x
Thanks for watching SgtDenny67, she is an awesome young woman!
There have been scientific studies performed that show that expectations of people surrounding a subject have a profound and measurable effect on the subject's success. In other words, the way that Geneva's community treats her and believes in her limitless potential has definitely helped with her success. I hope people can watch this and recognize the importance of a positive support system, for this is beautiful example. I commend not only Geneva for her determination, strength, and overall positive attitude, but also her family and friends for helping her shine! It makes me so happy to hear about these heartwarming stories and see that communities like this really do exist in this day in age.
Thanks for watching PeachyPanda, hope you enjoyed!
I have mild cp and I walk but sometimes I feel pain. People ask me what is wrong with my leg I walk with a limp. I DON'T THINK ITS ANYONES BUSINESS. SOMETIMES I say that or that I got hurt. I am a mom and i am divorced. Just because someone has a disability doesn't mean that you can't have a life.
It's so odd to me how I can relate so much with this as all of these things have been issues that I have overcome throughout my life in order to keep surviving. At my best when I could stay calm, I am completely normal and seem to outperform everyone around me. The moment I feel anxiety creeping in it's like my whole body shuts down and my mind is just barely holding on. Now I have multiple panic attacks a day which causes me to only have energy to physically do things for maybe 2 to 6 hours in a day. Never knew what was wrong with me as due to my anxiety I can mask all of my symptoms very easily and cannot properly communicate under anxiety. The thing is that the only thing in my medical file that suggests CP came around 5 years ago when I developed chronic pain from a nerve contusion. Nothing came out of all the imaging tests and nerve tests except that my reflexes were hyperactive and a bunch of other neurological issues that I was showing. That's when a neurologist suggested that it is most likely a form of mild cerebral palsy. I didn't understand what that meant then as I made it to the age of 25 before I started seeing my health issues as actual issues in my life when it just kept falling apart no matter how hard I tried. The good thing is that I'm getting better at it every time. I still don't know how I maintained full time jobs for around 9 years straight and was even a supervisor for the last 3 years in the mining sample prepping division of a couple labs. In my eyes I'm still normal and have no disabilities as it's all I know. My life makes more and more sense the more I'm discovering about my body the hard way lol through experience. I grew up in an area that was pretty much in another era of time. People don't understand what they don't go through. Still don't know what's actually wrong with me just know that I could somehow relate to this.
i love this documentary.. and I really love the ending
Thanks for watching Jesper, hope you enjoyed!
My brother was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was a few months old and not hitting the right mil3stones for his age. Sometimes I'm scared for his future and don't understand how he sees the world but this gives me hope. This gives me a different pérspective. It gives me hope.🙄
We hope you this brought you some hope Karena, we wish you and your brother the very best of luck.
What a beautiful young lady and beautiful family. You're going to achieve many great things in your life.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ! YOU GO GIRL !
Such a precious family! Truly inspiring! Love this couple & Geneva
My wife has CP, she can talk and use both legs, but the left side of her body has been compromised, she doesn't have balance to walk by herself and her left hand is very compromised. Even though we can have a good life and now we have a daughter. Our baby was born this year. We are married for almost 7 years.
I'm sitting here watching your RUclips channel while you're such an inspiration and you're so funny I wish you lived close to me and I would always hang out with you I love your personality you're just like me like you have a good time who cares what people say everyone is different
This is amazing. I wish her the best in life and to let people know you can do anything you put your mind to do .
This is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your story!!
Really eye opening to hear how strongly she feels about her New Zealand heritage - accent comes up a few times. Having the ability to speak is something we take for granted, not only to have the ease of communication, but also to have a unique voice which is an extension of our identity.
Thanks for watching ffishfinger, hope you enjoyed!
Her parents are so lovely I want to cry they seem so warm and loving she's a very lucky person
Your beautiful and so is family. I know if more people looked at this to understand that it doesn't matter what it looks like on outside but to look in the inside because we're all the same. Your showing people that being disabled is a label and you have so more than on the inside than can be seen. I'm disabled too I have MS and DDD which I had to have back surgery for and I also have epilepsy, glaucoma, carpal tunnel, high blood pressure, high cholesterol too. All from the time I was 21. I can't do all things want to do. You can do more things than I can do. Your a real Hero to others. Wnd you can reach for the stars and even get that star and as many as you want too.
you are crazy... adorable.. my neice got he degree in communications..
your drive to do the job is amazing..
may the Lord let you find your strengths..
What a beautiful story
Thanks for watching Ben!
You've got some interesting stories
You're an amazing woman that can and will get through this stigma from others. I hope that one day you'll be included. You're an awesome spirit and have a mature outlook. I wish you all the best Geneva... Love getting to know you more as a person more behind your disability...
Thanks Aspie, Geneva is an awesome young woman and will go far. Hope you enjoyed!
Attitude you're very welcome and yes I did enjoy watching this video. Glad to get to know more about different people with different needs... Keep up the good work.
Awesome - thanks for the kind words :)
you are welcome :)
What a beautiful family & an even more beautiful young woman both on the inside & the outside! 💖
Really awesome girl and inspiring person I personally know the difficulty she must have gone through to achieve this level because because I am affected by cerebral palsy on my own now I am attorney and businessman but I I am affected by mild cerebral palsy I can walk on my own with crutches so I know the difficulty which she must have went through to achieve this level I pray to God with all her wishes should come true she is really inspiring person to everyone

SassyKitty TV what is your RUclips channel?
What a great story and beautiful young woman. So inspiring!!!
Thanks for watching Laney Dee, glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊
I love her cousin luana, so funny 😂
I kind of giggled when she was going through her checklist in the morning. She said “I have my wheelchair…“ Does that need to go on a checklist? That’s almost like putting “put pants on before leaving the house“ on a check list. I mean just saying… I have cerebral palsy as well.
What an inspiring young woman! Smart, determined, and has a fantastic smile.
Thanks for watching Mary, hope you enjoyed!

Way to go, Geneva!!!
It's so nice to see that you have your support worker that takes you out so that you can enjoy your life. She includes you in girly, girl stuff. It is difficult to show people that you are like anyone else. It's the muscles that are hard to control. I wish you all the best in life.
Great story about a great person and a great family
Thanks for watching James, hope you enjoyed!
