I don't know if its gloating.. but I decided to post it anyways  :yahoo;
http://www.boston.com/yourtown/brookline/articles/2009/10/04/brookline_20_year_olds_wish_turns_into_award_winning_film_on_ill_teens_1254538942/
 :clap;

I hope you guys like it... The interview took 3 hours! during dialysis.. ha. But it was so much fun! I was in CVS and my middle school adminstrator bumped into me and said how they put up the article in the office and wrote "she went here!" haha... So that was way cool. And my medical staff,family and friends were super proud.. haha my friends mom put it up on the fridge.. lol

Anyways, i would like to say before people start asking, I no longer have any extra copies, and Make a Wish has the copyright and I'm not allowed to put it up on the internet..but I can show anyone i please. I think maybe more interest more copies.. but who knows? Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it..  :yahoo; << ME!

Very exciting Michelle!  I only got to see a clip of the video.  Is it posted anywhere or is that what you were talking about by only so many copies?

I understand how you felt losing your kidney.  I didn't want to start dialysis again either.  It meant that the transplant was really gone.

But, your attitude brought you through.  You are a beautiful young lady.
