Being in a wheelchair has made everyday things difficult. Things you wouldn't imagine. Like the looks I get at high school basketball games when they tell everyone to stand for the National Anthem.

About This Quote

When you are in a wheelchair, everyday things become difficult. The reason is because everything in life is harder for you than others. People may see the wheelchair and think, "That guy must be in a wheelchair." To them it looks like they are missing out on an opportunity to be in your situation. They think that they could take the same path that you have taken when in reality they couldn't. You can't blame them when they don't know better when they really think that they could if only it were possible.
