I have to say, some of you are so negative. That segment was fabulous! Stephanie did a great job, she was cute, poised, intelligent, and explained cf very well, in a very human way. People care alot more about seeing a kid explain it in normal terms, than in a textbook way.
Stephanie-if you or your family checks this out-which people, is highly likely-you did a great job sweetheart!
People-she is 12 years old. Rosie also has an attachtment to cf b/c of it affecting her family. I think she handled it in a positive way while also trying to educate people. What is wrong with saying-there will be a cure in our lifetime?-What is wrong with being optimistic? (You know they say sometimes if you verbalize an affirmation, it can come true.) After watching that, I felt warm and happy, and proud of her-not depressed and miserable. If I didn't know what cf was, I'd feel much more likely to donate than if I had watched a depressing miserable tale of cf-there's enough of that on Tv. Bringing Rent out and seeing her sing at the end esp made it inspirational.
I don't mean offense to anyone at all, of course each person in entitled to their own opinon. But I am very upset at the thought of criticizing this kid, or criticizing Rosie for being optimistic. (And I can't stand Rosie....) I'm tired of all the downers saying its wicked to hope for a cure.
