Some days ago, a disabled
boy came to our school. He needed a wheelchair to move, because he couldn’t
walk. We sat on the chairs of the class and the boy, who was called Jordi,
started to speak. Should we have imagined a sad boy, we would have made a
mistake. At first view, we realized he sat on the wheelchair, but when he
started to speak, we could forget it. Not only did his voice sound strong and
safe, but his look was determined. What’s more, should we have only listened
his voice or have seen his look, without understanding what he was saying, we
would have realized he was a strong person.
First of all and to
begin with, Jordi explained he had come to our school to talk about the crags
we can take when we drive. Although we are good students and legal people and
we don’t drink because we aren’t allowed to do it, he warned us about the
dangers of the situation. We are used to listening this comments, but maybe we aren’t
used to seeing people who had had these accidents. He projected a video which
showed some people whose lives had changed quickly. However, it isn’t sometimes
their fault. Unfortunately they were at the wrong moment in the wrong place.
But other times we can do little things which maybe will save our lives. As a
case in point, putting a helmet, fastening the seat belt or calling a taxi. How
long do you spend on it? Five minutes? Three seconds? From my point of view, it
isn’t worth to save these five minutes, because, for this reason, maybe you
must use a wheelchair the rest of your life.
I would like to
conclude by saying that despite all our possessions and abilities, we value
them when we lose them. I remember that day I felt very worried about a Physics
exam without realizing that day I could wake up, go to the school or go
upstairs. I look up to this boy, because he has never given up. He is fighting
for his aims. His game hasn’t finished. Don’t let the letters "Game
over" appear. You must think about all your friends, family, people who
love you. There is only one live, and we must live it.
