\"Claire<\/a>So who is Claire?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s an interesting question. To start off I\u2019m 13 years old, my name is Claire<\/a>, and I have an illness called Cystic Fibrosis<\/a>, which I was diagnosed with at Birth. It\u2019s interesting because for a lot of people it\u2019s totally different, it\u2019s like, \u201coh my gosh! She has a disease, take pity on her!\u201d But it\u2019s interesting when you have lived with something your entire life, that\u2019s how you know life. So I don\u2019t know, but that is the normal for me. It\u2019s funny cause if we didn\u2019t make a reservation at a restaurant and they want a table, when I\u2019m with friends some will say, \u201cOh she has CF!\u201d but I don\u2019t think of myself as any different than any little kid who has been at the beach all day and needs to get home.<\/span><\/strong> You know like, that\u2019s something I would love the world to know, when you live with something your entire life, it\u2019s no different.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love Yoga, been doing it for years.<\/strong><\/span> I am really into the whole \u2018green living\u2019, and I\u2019m also into a lot of homeopathic care and sort of the all natural way of living. Something that I want to do when I grow up or anytime, study it, Anthropology, I find it really fascinating how the body works and how the world works, compared to the body. I\u2019m really into the going all natural.<\/p>\n

How I first met NorthStar Moving\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"I recently was contacted by Make-A-Wish™<\/a>. They asked me what I wanted my wish to be, I said that I\u2019d love a room make over. I watch HGTV all the time and thought that would be so much fun! It\u2019s funny cause, I\u2019m not sure what show, but I\u2019ve actually seen you guys delivering before, I heard them say NorthStar Moving\u00ae before and it never really meant anything until I figured out that NorthStar Moving\u00ae was delivering all of our furniture, and I thought that was pretty cool. So that was pretty much the first time I heard of you guys. I thought it was a cool concept to build on, to be a green moving company, because packing peanuts are like everywhere and are a huge problem.<\/p>\n

Getting my wish granted by Make A Wish<\/strong><\/p>\n

We went to the Hyatt, really cool, the coolest part was, we didn\u2019t know this, but when we were staying there, President Obama was there! My friends and I were lying out by the pool and we over heard people saying, \u201cPresident Obama is upstairs staying in the hotel over night,\u201d <\/strong><\/span>and we all looked at each other and said, \u201cShould we all go try and find him?\u201d That was really like a great little journey there. It really felt like I got the royal treatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"And my room! You know, when I see other people\u2019s rooms, like on HGTV, I can picture what it will look like, but when it was my room, I had no sense what she (Kim Myles<\/a> of HGTV\u2019 s Myles of Style) could of done, so it totally blew me away. I can usually expect what\u2019s going to happen but not this time. So that was a cool experience. The Room is AMAZING! My little sister (Ellie) and I, you guys also included her in the character making as \u2018Sparkle,\u2019 we love to play imaginary games. One of our big things is mermaids. So to have a little mermaid room now that is perfect for imaginary play. It was awesome! All the stuff was high quality, and did you see the pillows? Awww the pillows are amazing!<\/p>\n
