Missing first hour of school because the person you depend on for a ride didn't wake up on time.
Having the front wheels of your chair get stuck on a curb and no one is around to help you get unstuck.
Having people pat you on the head because your only 4' tall.
Having everyone in the room turn around when you enter.
Having a teacher make a fuss over you day after day, like you were handicapped or something.
Having the chair lift at the ski hill stop for you to get off and on. The chair lift doesn't stop for any other reason
Having friends that give you a ride to school even though it is a hassle for them to load your wheelchair.
having girls sit on your lap cuz it's the only seat in the house.
everyone in town knows your name, cuz your the only one in town with a purplw wheelchair and a mohawk.
Having friends that will lift your butt-board on the chairlift and then lift you on the chairlift, even though everyone is staring at them.
Having a shop teacher want to turn your old wheelchair into a helicopter and letting the whole class work on it. Cool, if it works.----------
