HOW TO LIVE WITH OUR LIFE



I was just a proud soldier defending my country, in 1954 a World War was taking our people down, we did’t know what was exactly reason of this war that was destroying us, but in that age for being a good north American we decided to fight for our rights.

I remember that I was in the jungle just for 8 months, every single day I was so scared; not for the fire and the cadavers you could find in the fields of the jungle, was for the notice of a ambush. We were defenseless and without weapons, I was waiting for dying.

We suddenly were in a mine field we noticed, because I was victim of one of the thousands that hurt us. That war changed my life. Right now I am a quadriplegic an in june of these year I hope to marry a girl who is also paralyzed. At the present time, we both required the help of an attendant, but we have decided to marry.

We need attendant care, only a little while, in the morning, and at night. During the day, after we are in our chairs, we get around fairly well. We realized our life couldn’t be normal, as other knows it but is great for us. I will never forget that horrible episode of my life, but I m trying to be happy. We both received disability benefits, and I m able to earn a little money in additions, so I think that I am able to take our basic needs.

Now that I am grown I realized that we need to have respect to every person that has this condition. It s important to create for everyone consciousness of the importance to have the power of the courage, and the intelligence in over common disabilities.

Sometimes we see a blind or a quadriplegic guy even if is just an old-man that need help, we decided just to ignore him. So I think that we need to teach our students and kids that not everyone have lucky to being normal. So, just for see something that is wired for us not mean that we have to be bad with others.
