My Wish

The aspect of my body that I would most like to change would probably be my legs because they do not work the way I want them to work. I don’t understand sometimes why I was put in this position. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Most of the time, I just shrug it off. There are sometimes when I get very depressed and down because I see people doing stuff I always wanted to do. It hurts deep down inside. I know I just have to keep fighting and keep my head up. One day, I will get a miracle.

I want my legs to work because I want my life to be easier. I want to feel how it feels to stand up for more than ten minutes. I want to feel that burning sensation in your legs when you work out. I want to know how it is to walk up steps, to know what it feels like to run. I want to get another perspective on life. I want to be able to cook, clean, and do my own laundry.

I always kept this a secret from many people because it hurts so badly. There are some days when I cry myself to sleep. I ask myself why I was put in this position. Another reason why I have kept this a secret is because people don’t know how to respond to me. I often ask others how it feels to walk. They always hesitate because they don’t want to hurt their feelings. I want the truth because I really want to know. I depend on people to get me through the day and I wish that I could help them in the way that they help me.

Like I mentioned above, I really want to walk one day. And I firmly believe that one day I will have an opportunity to walk one step at a time. My wish is that no one takes their legs for granted.

I'm the Hero in my own mind

I'm the hero...dayum straight even if its only in my mind. Yesterday was another K-Peasey adventure. It started out on the bus....dayum straight. My day started at 7 am and didn't end until 7pm. I worked, I avoided the rain drops, battled a cold, got yelled at by some over the hill dude that worked at the bus station. On top of that I managed to drop a fecal bomb on myself. People might call me crazy that I took a pair three hour bus rides to and from work. But sometimes I just have to declare my independence even if its at the expense of soiling some good clothes. However what I'm here to talk about today is its all about the will and the drive. Ask yourself do you have it? Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Are you willing to sacrifice to acheive your goals? If not its time to look in the mirror. Remember you always have to go after what you want in life. Never let anything hold you back. Even if its something small like going to work by yourself or walking just a bit farther than you did yesterday. Than maybe you may become a hero...even if its just in your own mind...dayum straight.

What A Day

So my day began at 7:30 when one of my assistants got me up. Then I went to the bus stop after I ate some apple sauce. Then I waited for the bus for about 20 minutes. While I was waiting for the bus, I was thinking about everything I needed to do and saying prayers at the same time. When I got on the CCT, I went to the end of the line.

Then when I got to the transfer center, I ran to the next bus. Got on the other CCT to take me to the MARTA Arts Center station. When I got there, I had to buy a breeze car, though no one was around to help me get my money out.

Then, a sweet lady came and helped me. She asked 'Are you Kyle?'
And I said 'Yes.'
She said, 'I met you at one of your speeches and you did a great job.'

Then we sat on the train together and we talked. She got off before I did. When I got to Five Points, I transfered to the East/West line to go to Edgewood/Candler Park. I got off the train and ran to the bus to catch the bus to the edgewood shopping district.

My grandpa met me at the bus stop. And it was a lovely time. I got back on public transportation about 2:30. And did the whole thing in reverse order.

Got back to Kennesaw about 5:00, waiting for Amy to come and get me so we could come to our softball game. While we were at the game, she got injured. And her knee buckled.

So, Ryan had to come back and put me to bed and stay with me another night. All in all, it was a great day. It was a very training day. But it was well worth it. And I'm gonna do it again really soon.
