At the age of three, Christyna Hunter’s doctors proclaimed that she would probably never walk or talk or be a productive member of society.  Since that proclamation, Christyna has worked hard to prove those doctors wrong.  Born with a mild form of cerebral palsy, Christyna struggled through peers taunting her and teachers unable to understand her.

Then, at the age of nine, a tutor was brought in to teach her to type. And Christyna was changed forever.  Since then, she graduated from college and started a freelance writing career that included writings published in such publications as Careers & the disABLED, Parks & Recreation, and Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul.
