Do you know that I could remember When I was a little kid growing up with a very severe disability. I wasn’t born with this disability I were playing in some ones yard where I shouldn’t have been and I accidentally got hit from the back of my head hard from a car when I were two in a half years old. But thank God that I am still alive. I became the only one in my family that had a disability. Most every day it was very, very, hard. Because I could not do the things that my family could do. Like I could not roller skate or ice skate or run or jump or play basket ball or base ball or go skiing. But one thing is very important I never gave up trying to walk again. Now I could remember all of the therapies doctors appointments and operations that my parents had put me through. I even had to do a couple of exercises at my house too with ankle weights that strapped around both of my legs to get them nice and strong. I also walked with a four prong cane and I am still walking with a four prong cane today. Now I could put on my own shoes with one hand because they have those Velcro straps on them. But I had to go to a very special school because of my disability I could not go to the same school that my brother and sister went to they walked to school every day and their school were right around the corner from our house that were in Medford but their school were constructed with all stairs too. See I had to go to a special school way in Boston so a driver drove his companies van to my house to pick me up and then drove me to school in my wheelchair. But when I had got at my school I walked with my walk cane. When I had rode home on the van at three o'clock ever day I had to go in my wheelchair. On the week ends when my family would leave for New Hampshire they would wait until I came home and we would all ride up together. I had went to a school in Boston for nine years. Then in the year of nineteen-eighty-four I started going to Canton Massachusetts hospital school but I would live in a cottage called Ross cottage and ride home on a van only on every Fridays and go back on ever Sundays. In Ross cottage I would share a room with eight disable people some of the people were very, very, disable they were quadriplegic that mean that they could not use both of their arms and both of their legs. Some were paraplegic that means that they could only use the upper half of their bodies only. Some of the disable people that were in both electric wheelchairs and manual wheelchairs had trouble speaking or could not speak at all they talked by pointing to a letter or a word on their language boards. So I was lucky because even though I got the use of only one strong hand I could still dress myself and I could walk by myself because I have one strong leg too. By using my same strong hand I could hold on to my walk cane. So that I could walk up the hall way there to go to the kitchen to eat my meals with the other severe disable people. In the kitchen when we were eating our meals some of the severe disable people needed help eating. I even went to school with disable people most of the disable people had to be pushed in their wheelchairs to and from school. My second year there I lived at a cottage named Bradford cottage I shared a room with only one disable person. But all of the patients and staffs from Bradford and Nelson cottage ate their meals in the same kitchen. My third year there I staid at Nelson hospital. In Nelson I shared a bed room with four disable people in wheelchairs. There I felt kind of sad for those people that had severe disabilities. Because they could not do things that I could do. I am very lucky that I could try to do things for myself and when I fail I will try again. I walked holding on to my four prong cane up the hall way there to all of my meals and I walked back down the hall way after my meals too. In the gym at the Massachusetts hospital school after school most of the time I would park my wheelchair against the brick wall and then I would use my four prong cane to walk to a activity or just walking up the long wide hall way. When ever I walked I always remember to strap my helmet when ever I wore it on my head. A helmet is really, really, use full when ever you are playing any kind of rough sports or just jogging. Because what if you trip over a little rock or a stick pointing out of the ground a helmet would protect your head. Because A helmet got a really tough shell. I know that I got to wear my helmet when ever I am walking because I need to wear my helmet. No body would want to fall and hit their head really, really, hard on a hard object and wined up splitting their heads with blood dripping out and winding up getting stitches and then you may not be able to get up off of the ground you could become a quadriplegic having no feelings from the neck down and that could be a very, very, bad thing. So if you have a helmet be sure to wear it on your head and if your helmet have a strap then strap it up. Because a disability could rob you from your dreams. Ask a person that knows all to well. Thank God that my left leg is still strong and my left foot too. In fact I could pull my wheelchair with my left foot if I want too. So the next person that might be disable could be, just could be, you. I were reading a story about the human brain and I were very amaze in what I read. I read about what if you are talking drugs and I had read if you are taking drugs millions of neurons would fire messages back and forth from one another and when you are doing cocaine the drug enters through the blood stream blocking the transportation dopamine can not return to the storage vesicle as a result the impulse is repeated and it is very, very, bad for you too. So I was very interested in what I had read it kind of made me think and it should make you think too.

Do you know that people can get disabled very, very, easy if they are not careful that is. By a real bad slip and fall accident, a motor vehicle acccident, a climbing accident, a car and truck accident or any kind of accident like that. An accident that can injure you permenitly that there is no going back to the way that you was before. Who knows you might see a little or a lot of mobility in yourself if you are doing the right exersize prescribe by a therapist every day that is. But that is it once you are handicap you are that way for life and that is true very, very, true indeed. I was disable all of my life the only reason why I could walk with a walkcane Is because I been doing a lot of exersizes and lifting weights on my legs and I had some operations too. Today I am still walking with a walkcane. Of course some times I have been pulling my wheelchair with my strong leg. I also have a bright blue motor scooter that I drive some times too. But I will keep on trying to walk every day by using my walkcane. They are comming out with all kinds of things to help disable people get around much more easier now. Like three and four wheel motor scooters, grab bars so that when a person that have a disability like I have. Grabs on to a grab bar that person would not pull it out of the wall and there is other stuff to help people with disabilities too. Of course it has to do with what part of the brain had got the most damage. Your brain is what in your head that controls both of your arms and legs you may say the brain is the master of your body. With out your brain nothing would get done and that is true very, very, true indeed. See your brain is like a big giant x. Now the right side of the brain controls the left side of your body. And the left side of the brain controls the right side of your body. when you are born all of the organs are functioning great because your brain is not damage of course. But if you have been hit in the back of your head really, really, hard. You will find out the you can not move a certain part of your body any more. So please, please, be careful and if you have a little kids put up some fences and strong railing and bars the places that you think need them.

Now some people knows that how drinking to much alcoholic beverages could be very bad for you especially for the master inside your head that controls all of you body part that is your brain. Now at some point when we went to school you might have learned that when you drink alcoholic beverages the alcohol goes straight to your blood stream and the alcohol goes down your blood stream and gets turned in your stomach. Then the alcohol goes back up your blood stream and then destroys some brain cells so that you can not think straight and you may have blurry vision too. Then the alcohol goes straight to the liver where it is filtered out of your body. If too much alcohol beverages passes your liver on the way out of your body your liver is going to get harder and harder that it can not support your life no more then you would die--==*. Now I do not want to say that I don’t drink but a few sips of wine or beer is not going to harm you it is when you over drink that is when the harm comes in. And you can take another human life. Just picture your self as a very disabled human being that can not do nothing for your self. So you have to rely on a able bodied human being to do every thing for you like washing you, getting you dress, feeding you your meals and brush your teeth and hair. I know because I was hit by a car when I was two years old and now I still am a man with a disability and I have to spend time in a wheelchair. But I am still trying to walk every day by walking with a walk cane and getting my legs stronger and stronger every day. As I were growing up I had to go through special schools seeing disable people in wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs too. A disability is a very serious thing it really is I used to have a few care takers in my life and I just hate it when that person that suppose to be taking care of you is out late drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking too. Then that person gets back to your house and your face is all bloody and the blood is dripping down your face too. Because you just had a real bad fall all because your care taker wasn’t at your house taking care of you that is what happen to me when I had a care taker in the year nineteen-ninety-five and the year of nineteen-ninety-seven that person that were suppose to be watch me decided to go out and I had got a bloody face from a real bad fall and I had to go to the hospital too for some stitches. See it on the other hand what if that person that is in the manual wheelchair or in a electric-wheelchair were you some day it could in fact happen.
