An Interesting Project with an Interesting Story


Finally, our english teacher, Ms. Waugh, gave us an interesting project to do. We had to find someone that was unknown and making a difference in the world today. After researching, we were to present this individual to the class. I finally found a person named Kristi Chrysler, and became very interested in her story. She had Autoimmune, or Lupus, disease. She had five children, and the third, a boy (She didn't give the name), was born with Autism. The doctors told her that she should put him into institution. Kristi did not like that, so she set off on a massive research journey to find out if her son had hope. She traveled coast to coast, and eventually discovered, with the help of scientists and physicians, that there ws a treatment, and some even recovered. She soon found a physician, Dr. Tammy Born. He happened to also be an expert on lupus disease. Her son recovered in five years, and Kristi recovered two years after.
Now she is an expert on many illnesses, and gives speeches wherever she can. She loves giving light to those in darkness, and hopes to let the world know that there is hope, there is recovery, and there is a bright future awaiting them. I hope you were as interested in her story as I will always be.
