Last Match

Although I had five wrestling matches that day, the one that broke my neck was not the last, for the biggest fight was about to take place. The fight for survival and the fight for a new life. I have survived a life and death experience. I have been resurrected, although I am not the same as I was. I have grown from my past and transcended to new heights. I have lost sensation in my body. But I have unlocked new parts of my mind. I am now 25 years old. I have been a quadriplegic for 10 years, and although I wonder where I would have been, I am impressed at where I am. I am more established then I probably would have ever been, and I have accomplished more that I could have ever dreamed possible. People have lifted me up. I have taken chances and I have lifted up people who have taken none. I am always there to show them that we all face challenges, just on different levels. And although at times we are compressed, we must seek those who can enlighten us. For the world's accessibility is growing and the time for us to take chances is now!
