My Life

On Tuesday August twenty-fourth 2004 I had went out on my motor scooter to CVS. So I had got in my wheelchair in my bed room and then I had wheeled out to the garage to get on my motor scooter. Then I had went to CVS to drop my camera off so that it could be develope then I had drove back to my house late. A few hours later I had gone back out to the garage to get on my motor scooter to drive back to CVS and then I had got my pictures and some shampoo too. Then I had went back to my house to eat my dinner. After my dinner I had wheeled in my wheelchair to my bedroom to type for a bit. Then I had sat in my dark blue recliner chair so that I could watch my television. Then a few hours later I had went to sleep in my bed.

On Saturday August twenty-first 2004 when I woke up at eight-thirty in the morning. I had walked in to the bath room and then I took a shower. After I had got dried off I had went to my draw to get my yellow checkered shorts and my white tea-shirt while I were watching the news on channel six on my television. Later I had got in my wheelchair and then I wheeled out to the kitchen and I had got a bowl to pour myself some cereal then I had ate my bowl of cereal. After I had put the empty bowl in the dish washer I had wheeled back to my bed room. So back at my bed room I had got on my walkcane so that a female staff person could walk me around the in side of this house. A few hours had past until it was two o:clock so I were already in my wheelchair and I had got my red coat and my camera too I thought that I would take pictures at the concert down at the half shell. A hour later when I were there I was waiting to see the concert. But a guy that worked there had told every person there that there are going to be some severe thunder and lightening storm and for every body to take cover. So me, a guy in a electric wheelchair named Earl and a male staff person named Steve took sheltter from the really bad thunder and lightening storm in the men's bathroom there. We all had to wait in the men's bath room at the half shell for a little bit just until the bad rain thunder and lightening storm blows over. me, Earl and Steve were waiting for the storm to past by. But it didn't so we all had to get loaded on the van and mine, and Earls wheelchairs had to be strapped down too. So the driver had drove us home to the McLaughlin house. Back at this house every body were in the kitchen eating sandwiches. So When I was all done eating mine I had wheeled to the refrigerater to get a yogurt to eat and I had ate my yogurt I had to through the carton away in the trash bag later. So I had went back to the table and a disable person in a wheelchair had yelled at me that I had his helmit on when I didn't later I had got really bad at him and I lost my temper and yelled at him but he yelled at me first so we had to say sorry to each other.

Being a person with a disabilty is some times no fun. Because that disable person can not do much like a able body person can do. Like jumping, running, climbing, skiing, skating and a few other things too. Growing up with a disability I know this at first hand. Seeing my brother and sister skiing, playing in a baseball game, skate boarding, dancing, and doing gymastics makes me wish that if only I could do that too. See I had to work really hard to get to where I am today. And that mean I had to do a lot of exercizing with my legs by lifting heavy anckle weights by doing leg lifts thirty times each I had to do my side leg lifts, back leg lifts, and sitting down leg lifts and I had to do some walking by using a walkcane too. My parents also had to put me through physicle therripy that is why my legs are so strong. When you are a disable person you would be in isulation from playing a few sports with the able body people that involve any Kicking running and jumping. Just remember this that disable person could be you next. I remember reading a sticker in back of a disable kid electric wheelchair that read like this. Your brain can not be fix in a body shop and that is so very true. If you can not do some thing try, try, again so that you could do it later. I had haerd that saying before the general public do not know about head-injury and that is true too. So think really hard about what you are doing and the concerquence that you might going to have to live with later like me. Just take alittle time to thing about that orgin in side your head that causing you to move you arms and legs and that is your brain.

On Tuesday August seventeenth 2004 a beautiful lady named Merrisa, and a guy named Jordon, had came to my bedroom to pick me up and they walked me out to Merrisa's car so that we could ride to fox borough statium to see the Patriot practice game. So when me, and Jordon, got in Merrisa's car she drove me and Jorden, to a guy named Jonothen's house. So that we all can tranfer to Jonothen car and he drove me, Merrisa, and Jordon, to fox borough statium to watch the Patriots practice game. When we all had arrived at fox borough statium they had to take out my wheelchair from Jonothen's trunck. Then when they had got my wheelchair out I sat on the seat and Merrisa pushed me through the gift shop there. Then Jorden pulled me down the grassy hill so that we could all see the Patriot practice game. Me, Merrisa, Jorden, and Jonothen watched the game for a few hours and I were taking pictures with my camera too. When I had looked in back of me and there were a lot of people. Children with their parents watching the game too. Then I had turned back around to see the rest of the game. Later when I had got a few Patriot autograph we all had watch two big helicopter take off. Then we had went to Jonothen house. Then Merrisa drove me back home to the McLaughlin house.

I could remember growing up as a disable child and sitting outside to watch my brother and sister that are able bodied playing kick ball or tag across the street from my house with some of their friends. So I would look over there and then I would wish that I could play across the street too. And seeing them running and jumping up to get the ball and how I wish to do that too? As me and my family went to New Hampshire for the winter my family would go skiing. I would look over at Atittash mounting to see them skiing and I would wish if only that were me too. But I would just play in the snow instead. Because that was all that I could do. And when my family goes out with some of their friends in the winter I would wish that I could have gone out too. But I couldn't because there were a great big patches of ice and alot of snow were on the ground. At times I wish that I had never got this disability in the first place. So that I could do more thing with my brother and sister. But I had that bad car accident and I were playing where I shouldn't have. So I have to live with this disability may be for the rest of my life. But I am very, very, glad that I have got one very strong arm and hand and a very strong leg and foot. I hold on to my walkcane with my very strong hand and I walk with my very strong leg and foot. Life could change in a snap you can be a able bodied person that need know help from no one. And a really, really, bad accident happeneds to you. And you can become a disable person that is depending on people. Just remember this that disable person in a wheelchair might be you next.
