About Me Well My name is Tiara Cochran and I am 18 years old. I was born with my right arm missing from the elbow down. When i turned 3 months old the Shriners Hospital for Children sponsored me, and i am still currently going there.(18 years later..lol) I have never thought of myself as disabled because I do everything like everyone else does..I have never let it stop me from doing anything. I actually love having one arm because it makes me unique. I race gokarts professionally all over IN, IL, and OH. I have been racing for 10 years now with a LOT of success. With being involved in racing, I have been able show other people that even though having a disability, it does not limit you from things you wanna do. I love putting smiles on peoples faces and joy in their hearts. I guess you could say I am a role model so it takes a lot responsibility, but i love it. Never limit yourself. Yea I have been made fun of thoughout my life, but it has only made me stronger. You will always have people there to bring you down, but dont let it. So anyways, I hope you like my site, and if you want to get to know me better, get back at me.

Likes I love sports. Racing most of all, then volleyball, basketball, tennis, etc. I am very athletic. I love Chinese and Mexican food..yum yum..My cell phone means the world to me.My puppy Lexie is my love and joy. Hangin out with my friends..Always fun!
