By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Camp is coming up next weekend and I'm excited about it. The Kyle Pease Foundation sets it up. The camp is in Winder, Georgia. It's called Camp Wheel Away because we all ride bikes together. That makes it different from other camps. The camp is kind of back in the woods. There are cabi...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Anyone that knows me, knows that I love animals. Animals help us and we help them. An example is Tux a horse. I helped him and he helped me. I met Tux at the barn where I rode for therapy. I rode for years and years and he was my horse the whole time. He was a big, white, beautiful the...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger I love birthdays. My mom always makes sure mine is the best. My favorite birthday memory is when I had a Harry Potter birthday party. I was fifteen. It started in the bathroom when I got up. It was written on the bathroom mirror that “the birthday chamber has been opened.” ...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger What are some things that bother me when I am using my device to talk to somebody? The one thing I would like people to know is that most computer users don't like it when people don’t let them finish what they are typing before they start guessing what the user is saying.&n...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Another job I would like to do is to be a food critic. I would like to go all over the world and taste different food, rate it and write about it.

By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Another thing I do with my computer is I have these meetings with people all over the country. We meet once or twice a month on Zoom. We all use computers to communicate. We talk at the meeting about anything. My friend John, who I have talked about before, told me about it. We all use...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Let's talk about road trips. Road trips can be fun and sometimes not so fun. A bad road trip to me is when you find nothing to do except stop for food. A good road trip is when you find places to stop or other fun things to do on the way to your destination. I have had both. My family ...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger One thing I love to do is watch movies. My favorite movies are the Harry Potter movies, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Pinocchio. Let me tell you why. I like Harry Potter because I like Ron Weasly and the magic world is so fun. When I was little, my mom and I used to read the book...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger Teamwork is really important to me because people can help me do stuff. When you work together, like when I run or play basketball, everybody helps each other and we all get active and get out there. It's also more fun working and playing with others. That way you can share memories and...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger My friend John was always outgoing, and his smile was so contagious. He was always happy. We met over 10 years ago at a day camp called Camp Team, which was an outside camp. One summer, his mom was sending him off to overnight camp for the first time, and my mom told m...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger I started using my device by just playing with it. My mom called the speech therapist and said, "she is not using it, she is just playing with it." The therapist said, "she is playing with it to see how to use it." The first real thing I said was "fox." My mom asked, "what are you talki...
By Parr Burton, PRC-Saltillo Blogger I like sports. I have tried many sports like baseball, basketball, soccer, sled hockey, dance, running races, and horseback riding. Then my friend Matt told me about snow skiing and I gave it a shot. I went to Park City, Utah with my family. I was excited about going. I skied with some...
I think girl talk is important We girls talk about stuff that guys don't deal with. Sometimes we share stuff that's serious and sometimes we share stuff that's silly. Without my computer I couldn't talk and share. I have two cousins, Claire and Chloe. We get together to go to the beach in the summer and at Christmas. At ni...
