My Life

 Do you know something that I had been a partly paralyzed man for until nine-teen seventy-one when I had got hit by a car while playing in a Nabors yard back when I use to live in Tewksbury and I was only two in a half year old. After I had got hit by a car me and my family then move into another house in Medford, but the house that my parents had got had had thirteen or four-teen step and for a partly paralyzed kid I had to be really, really, careful if I didn't fall all the way down the stair. Because at the bottom of the stairs my head could slam very, very, hard into the very hard marble radiator and that word had hurt my head very, very, bad or kill me. My brother and my little sister went to the same school together in Medford, right around mine and my family's house I went to a very different school, and my school was right across the Charles River in Boston because of me disability. So, I had to go to school in a manual wheelchair because I could still use one of my legs and one of my arms too. But when I went to school every day a drive would drive a great big van to my house in Medford, then my mother would get me to sit in my wheelchair then the van drive would load me on the van and then he or she would chain and hook my wheelchair wheels to the van floor and then my van driver have drove me right to my school that   was in Boston it was a great big giant brick building called the Cotting school for handicap kids and I would even go to my classes in my wheelchair. A few hours later when I would ride on the van to my house there would be five or six kids that were in wheelchairs that was drove to their house before me. When I got to my house in Medford, my mother would walk out to my van to wheel me into the house and some day when my mother was too busy. When I would get home from school, I would watch the television for the rest of the day I couldn't walk alone like my brother and sister they were all out visiting their friends and some day they would walk across the street playing kick the can with their friend I could not cross the street because there were so many cars and trucks speeding up and down the street. Some days I would play with my toys including my action figures. But I could only play with one hand and that was my very, strong left hand and I can open and close my left hand, and I can move my left fingers and thumb too I could not move my right arm or my right hand either. Because my right arm would be bent at my elbow under my chest and I could not straighten my right arm out it was too hard for me to do. But back in the year of nine-teen eighty-seven I had a operation on my right arm. Now my arm is straight, and I could show anyone when the doctor stitch up my wrist on my right arm and now my wrist is fuse together and know I can't bend my right wrist it always going to stay straight. I could still have movement on the left side of my body. Because I was damage in the left hemisphere of my brain that effect my whole right side of my body. At least I still have great movement with my whole left side of me body. Like I could wheel my wheelchair with just my left hand, and I could power my four-wheel motor scooter too, Me and my family would get another house in New Hampshire that our mother would drive up to every Friday afternoon when me, my brother and our sister too would get home from our school. Of course, I had to a different school called the Cotting school because of my disability and every day when I would come home from my school I would have to ride to my house in a van and there were only three handicap kids that was in wheelchairs that was dropped off at their houses first before me. Then my mother named Denise Russo would drive up to New Hampshire with me Georgie Russo, Joe Russo, and Maria Russo. We used to live in a great big and very wide house right across from Attitash mountain Some Fridays afternoon before we gone up to our other house our mother would stop at her sister's house in Pennycook New Hampshire that was my Aunt named aunty Paul and her husband was my uncle named uncle Ray, and they had grown kids name Raymond, Eddie, Kathy, and Ireen and that have got a really, really, wide yard with all kinds of barking and friends dogs that  was in a big fends in  cube. Some days we would go to my mother brother house my uncle Bradly and his wife my aunty Barbra, and see Martha, Rachel, and Jeramy they were my cousin. When I had rode up to Barlet New Hampshire, I would take my four-prong cane up so that I could walk on the grass in the great big very, very, wide beautiful yard and someday I walk with my four-prong cane in the woods where there were a whole lot of big trees.  But when I would go to sleep in my bedroom, I would walk up twelve or thirteen steps and when I was upstairs, I would walk to my bedroom, grabbing one wall and another well and trying to stay balance too. When I would wake up from my bed, I would grab my brother's bed and walk while I held on to walls in different places upstairs. But when I had got downstairs then I would continue walk with my four-prong cane. Because if I bring my four-prong cane upstairs and if I walked with my four-prong cane upstairs walking into my bedroom, I could grab on to my brother's bed because me and my brother would have a bunk bed which would mean I would sleep in the bottom bed. If I would waken up a walk with my four-prong cane down the hallway then bend done on the floor myself. I could hurt myself very bad so that is why I grabbed different walls.  But only when I would get downstairs I would walk with my four-prong cane. When me and my family would ride the car for three hours straight to Medford, thirty-eight dexter street I went to the Cotting school every day and when I got home, I would watch the television or play a video game on Atari. In the year of nineteen-eighty-five in had started a new school called the Mass hospital school it was in Canton and there were a great big very wide and long gym and every Sunday afternoon I would go to the Canton Ma hospital school a van driver would drive me all the way there and I would do different activities there in the great big gym some afternoon I would go in the weight lifting room and work out on thee weight lifting machines there were about ten or eleven weight machines there. Some afternoons I would do track and fields with some disable kids that was in wheelchair we would wheel all around the school floor and we would have to wheel a mile around and we would have to wheel faster too. I would have a wheelchair that would have one wheel on my right side, and I would have three wheels on my left side of my wheelchair. Because my left arm is my good strong hand. My first year at the Mass hospital school I use to be in a great big brick cottage called Ross, cottage and I was in a bedroom with seven kids with disabled that used wheelchairs some disable children had to use an electric wheelchair to get around and they did not talk good that mean they would use a language board to talk and some people had to feed that disable kid that in that manual wheelchair or in that electric wheelchair. The next day I would wheel myself to school every day I would wheel myself to school and I would wheel into the great big gym, and I would wheel out the out electric sliding glass door and when I and the other disabled people are going to school, we have a very long board over our head. Then in the school we would learn about different stuff from our teacher and then we would go to a room called project eye and in Project eye I would put together parts of a camera. On ever Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon I would go swimming in the very, very, long Olympics pool that they had in the Gym. On every Monday, and every Wednesday night from seven o'clock P.M until eight thirty P.M me and some handicap kids used to go swimming and some kids with serious disabilities would be wheeled into the great big Olympic swimming pool on the great long marble floor ramp at the shallow end of the swimming pool and it were fun too. In the summer I used to go to a cap called camp ECHO it was a good camp I sleep I a cabin with seven or eight kids some kids had to use a wheelchair to get around camp. Some kids walked with walker, and some walked with crushes it was all depending on how they were disabled. But when I used to go to camp ECHO I use to walk outside across the very sandy and dried muddy ground holding on to my four prongs cane and some days I would trip and fall. But I would be fine because all that I would fall on will be a pile of dried dirt then I would walk up the ramp and then go to the bathroom, I had to do that whenever I had to go to the bathroom, but there were no toilets in the cabins. My second year of the Canton Mass hospital school was in the year of nine-teen eighty-six I was in the Bradford, cottage and it was a long building and every day I would wheel to school and every Tuesday, afternoon at twelve I would join a singing group called the noontimes singers. There would be some kids that was in manual wheelchairs like me and other kids that was on holidays there was a concert. So, all of the kids including me that were in the concert singing would go to school and go into the auditorium and wheel on stage to sing.  One time after dinner at Bradford, cottage I had to wheel to school and on stage to sing but a nurse did not let me wheel up the cemented ramp so that I could wheel   to school then wheel on the stage so the I could sing in the concert. But I couldn't go. So, when the female nurse went into the nurses station at Bradford, cottage to call  if they wait me to sing that night so out into the hallway I put my strong left hand on the three rims of my wheelchair and I wheeled my wheelchair very, very, fast outside and I had wheeled up the very long walk way and I wheeled fast up the great big hill until I was on the stage in the auditorium with the other singer. Then hour and hour past and it he   got dark and darker than I had just arrived back to Bradford cottage and the female nurses that did not believe me had started believing me. So, then I had gone to bed because I was so tier of singing with the other kids that sang too. In the year of nineteen ninety I have gone to a place called Mentor. That was a program in Woburn, across from Commings property. So, a van drive had drove his or her van to my house that was still on thirty-eight Dexter street and then the driver drove to LY station and then the drive would stop driving the van and then wait for another van. Then that drive would drive to pick up two more people that lived in Woburn, on was a lady that was disabled and had to use a language board for communication her name was Cathy,  and after the driver had loaded Carthy on the driver drove to a guy named Philip, house then  the drive had driven all three of us to a great big and wide building called Mentor When the van driver had park at the Mentor building across the street from Cummings properties the driver got Cathy out of the van first because she was   in a electric wheelchair and then me and Philip, got off of the van and then walk inside of the mentor building
