The story behind my topic

     In October of 2009 I moved to South Carolina to live with my father and stepmother. When I first moved in with them it was awkward at times because I had not seen my father in eleven years and had never met my step mother, but I learned to adjust to my new family. After we all adjusted to each other things settled down and I began getting to know my stepmother more and more every day. I learned early on that my step mother had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1999 and faced struggles from it every day. I had never  heard of this disorder, but I did learn from her that it was an incurable disorder that had many side effects.
