On Thursday, June twenty I had woken up from my sleep in my bed at seven o'clock in the morning. So, then I had got out of my bed, and I had grabbed the long black bed bar and I had balanced while I was standing up to sit down in my big black wheelchair. Then I had wheel into my computer desk to see a you tube video, then I had got my gray shorts on me and I had help putting on my white socks my white right ankle brace, and my big brown shoes too So, then I had wheeled out of my bedroom, and I had wheeled across the living room floor and then I had wheeled into the dining room and I had a bowl of shredded wheat and some big plump blue berries too. At ten o'clock A.M I was wheeled outside, and I was loaded in the big dark blue van, and I had ridden to RockPort, with three other residents too. A few hours had already passed by when we were at RockPort, me and the two other residents had to be unloaded from the great big dark big dark blue van and we all had gone around the big red house and we had gone on the great big Patio then we all had painted some three Demensional bubbles with our art teacher some residents at the house in RockPort had also painted some bubbles with me and the two other residents from the McLaughlin, house that is in North Reading. Later we all had Aten some sandwiched some grapes and some chocolate chip cookies. At eleven thirty in the afternoon me, Derek, and Peter all got loaded in the great big dark blue van and we had ridden back to the McLaughlin, house in North Reading, a few hours later when we were back from Rockport the two staff people that came to Rockport with us had unhook Derek wheelchair and a staff person had wheeled him into the McLaughlin, house and out inside the dark blue van the other staff person had unhook my wheelchair and then he had pushed me into the McLaughlin, house. I had wheeled into the great big pink room and there were three volunteers Physical Therapist in there so the one made me do ten leg lift with weights on and both legs too, so I had done it then she had me doing ten pull apart three times. When I was all finish with the exercises I was in my room to talk to a lady named Rachal about the camp that I am going to on July eight and that is camp Jabberwocky and what I may have to where at night Because I had told her that I had a male counselor that was a sound sleeper if I had to go to the bathroom that bad it was very, very, hard for me to waken my counselor up at night I would call, him and call him and some nights I could not wake him up so I had to hold it until morning when that would be not fare and not right eight. I can't wait to go to camp Jabberwocky don't get me wrong. I cannot wait for the singing the swimming, the partying and I will be making a whole lot of new friends at the camp too and I am going to show my painting scales and I would show them my new photo book. For the two weeks that I would be at camp Jabberwocky I would not be sleeping alone I would have four or five people sleeping with me of course they will be sleeping in their own bed. But we will sleep and get up in the same cabin together. When it gets hot outside a the campers and their counselors are going to be in their bathing suits and get in the vans and three large bus and riding to the state beach to go swimming and some counselors with be lying on their towels on the sandy beach trying to get a sun tan, When I wheel into the dining room in my wheelchair I will be eating with a whole lot of people and talking to them and making new friends too. Because it can be a struggle for me dressing myself day, after day and night after night. But I could only do the left side of my body because my left side did not get paralyzed but when I had my very, very, bad car accident way back when I was two in a half years old back in the year of nineteen sixty-nine
