-A senior at Haslett High School. Born in Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine. Fair hair, dark brown eyes, SPF 50 skin, age 21 but a senior in high school because she can’t speak a word of English, and also because she has Spastic Diplegia. Since many future new parents (who need to budget for months to get their Ukrainian Princess home) rename their Ukrainians, I will rename the girl to Jen Mays.
–“Ya sama!” Jen Mays will speak. “I can do it!”
–“Da!” Jen Mays will speak. “Yes!”
-I will take the girl to Sparrow MAC Outdoor/Indoor Pool, to sign her up for youth-level swimming lessons (she will be cognitively that of a typical preteen girl). I will have her to take swimming lessons (despite the crying and whining), stretch her because she has severe cerebral palsy (despite the fact she abhors it when people stretch her), and teach her how to swim–to become a lifeguard, she will NEED LOTS AND LOTS OF TRAINING (CPR, swim test, etc.; she will be considered a worker from Ukraine, studying “Khan Academy Pre-Algebra major” at Michigan State University).
-Mrs. Busby told me that adopting from Ukraine requires problem-solving, inequalities, exponential functions, greater than/less than, and the metric system.
-Mrs. Busby (my helper at MSU who will also care for Jen in a couple of years), is Jen Mays cognitively impaired? Mrs. Busby, Jen Mays is cognitively impaired: Intellectually, she is at the level of a 12-year-old (reading, speaking; listening), because Jen Mays has Cerebral Palsy and Learning Disability.

-Jen Mays’s Zodiac Sign is Leo for lion: She was born in Ukraine on 8-21, and she can speak English with a foreign accent (i.e. “I vant” and “Ya sama.”
-Mrs. Busby, you said that being a ride operator at Sparrow MAC means those people need to know greater than/less than (inequalities), and that those people are not stupid.
-Jen Mays was born in Ukraine. She has taught more about life than anyone I know.
-Also, at 5’4 1/2″, her final adult size, she is borderline petite (which isn’t a bad thing). She wears my Children’s Place girls’ 10 1/2 years old shirt; she’s tiny.

I love the story of Jen Mays!
And, yes, they do need to know inequality.
To me Mays is tall.

-Adelaide, reply ASAP: Jen Mays, at 5’4″ 1/2, is actually borderline shorter. In fashion (I will work at GapKids), they take women who are 5’5″ or shorter.
-GapKids will take women who are 5’5″ or shorter, based on proportions. This is because petite fashion defines a shorter woman as under 5’6″.

It’s already 9 days: I hope you will forgive my tardiness.
The last few days I was trying to apply to two accounts at the same time which meant certain replies didn’t get through.
My first exposure to petite fashion was when I would read on a message board about a 30-year-old woman who had cystic fibrosis.
I can see you at GapKids.

-You can see me at GapKids? I am 4’11” and a half, and I admit, I want a GapKids safari red size medium swimsuit because I want to be a swimmer in Tokyo (I will adopt Lana–the fair-haired and blue-eyed full-Japanese girl aged 16.5 and born on January 18 with cerebral palsy), and I’ll teach Lana how to swim even though she’ll be in an Ottobock cane.

-Yes Jen Mays will be a lifeguard at Sparrow MAC after CPR testing, rigorous swimming (despite her cerebral palsy), and will make sure all on the water slides must be 48 inches OR pass a swim test. It is not to call someone “Shorty”; but the cutoff will be 4 feet, period (NO ROUNDING UP TO 4 FEET)!

-In the Ukraine, while some workers did tie Jen Mays up, there were some workers who did a time-away, kicking her out for calling someone stupid, which is appropriate discipline (time-away is sitting on a chair for 10-12 minutes because we do 1 minute per year of age up to the preteen years).

The Detroit Historical Society must have been a great field trip.
I thought when Eunice was part of the Kennedy family she was a Catholic?
Of course the Axis Powers [Japan; Italy; Germany] hated the Allies and not only in a war-mongering way. Sure, there were individual relationships…
Where is the cause and effect when it comes to swimming? It seems rather circular to me.
“A job is more mandatory than a stupid iPod”. I was wondering if you would use any fitness tracking devices?
So you would be a swimmer for yourself, a worker for yourself and for Jen Tatiana?

Until recent times I didn’t see Special Olympics as controversial.
I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about it either.
I like that “Understood” that you do.
Or a thing to be ignored as so often happens. This is a quote from Tito Mudophakay, an Indian-American writer you might enjoy, Hannah.
