Let's go Bowling

Hello my name is Jasper and I'm a quad. Like a lot of people who are in wheelchairs it was difficult for me to adjust. Sometimes I felt as if my life had come to a standstill. I didn't know what to do or how to relate to other people in similar conditions, but slowly with the help of the staff at my care center I began to realize that life goes on. Just a few days ago I went on an outing to a bowling alley. Before I became a quad myself I never even thought of handicapped people doing something like bowling, but when it was suggested to me I decided to give it a try. I found out that there are a lot of handicapped people who bowl, and also it was a lot of fun! I got a lot of support and motivation from the staff and they even brought a special ramp for me and my ball. Oh! Did I fail to mention that I have gotten the highest score TWICE since I've been bowling? Well, not bragging but to make a point- if you feel down about your life because it has changed so much, rethink your attitude because life goes on. You have a choice- you can either sit by and watch it go by, or you can join in the fun and live your life as before. I go to movies, I've been fishing, I've been to the Opera, I go to concerts- my point is get off the pity pot and live your life. My name is Jasper- let's go bowling.
