Game Over
Last Monday, a man whose name I don’t remember, sorry,
came to our school to talk to us about his story and his problem. When I came
into the class, I was surprised because this man was in wheelchair. He came
from the Insitut Guttman, a hospital for people with mobility problems, where he went
for the first time some years ago, when he was very young. He had a motorcycle
accident that deprived him of his legs mobility and he almost die, he was in a
coma for some weeks. His problem was that this night he drank too much, so he
wasn’t able to ride his motorcycle but unfortunately, he did it. His life
suddenly changed since this moment, he was a young and brave boy that couldn’t
walk as his friends. He told us that he was very depressed the first month, but
he told to himself that he couldn’t be depressed in a deep hole the rest of his
life, so he decided to continue living and having fun. He continued with his degree
and he went to live to Canada for some few years, he met girls and he also and
surprisingly for everybody, he continued doing sport. He warned us to be
careful if in a future we ride a motorcycle or we drive a car, because just a
little distraction, a little mistake, can change our life and even we can lose
it.
I was really amazed when I hear the story of this guy,
because even being 30 years old and not being able to walk, he looked like the
happiest person in this world. I think he is an example for all of us, when we
complain that we can’t get this new and cool mobile phone, or when we don’t
have this trendy t-shirt, because we have to value what we have, because we are
young and we can walk, run and jump, something that we never consider, and
something that this man can not do, and even that, he is happier than more of
the richest people in the world. So we have to be more thankful for what we
have, and in a future, we will have to take care before driving a car o riding
a motorcycle.
