9 What do you find most difficult?
'I find it difficult to walk up stairs that have a lip sticking
out over the edge because I get my foot stuck. It is also
difficult to get up and down stairs if there is only a handrail
on the right-hand side.'
'Going shopping with friends and resisting the temptation
to yell at everyone who stares, "I am human, I have feelings."
‘To get a boyfriend and to walk long distances.'
‘Trying to show my emotions.'
'Getting up in the morning. If I have to let a girl go that
I like, I find that a downer.' |
10 What gives you the greatest happiness?
‘That I could get a good job and people would be able
to take more notice. Also see Liverpool win all the football
trophies possibly excluding the World Cup.'
'Playing for a wheel-chair basketball team and supporting
Liverpool football team.'
'Having a relationship with boys.'
'Seeing other disabled people getting on in life.'
'Play-fighting with my father.'
'Knowing that whatever happens I will wake up in the morning
and it will be a new day. I'll have a bash at living. Making
others happy makes me happy. Feeling useful makes me feel
happy.'
