I was 19 years old, me and my buddy  peanut were  out having fun.  And we were going back to his Apartment and he locked himself out.  He was trying to throw rocks at his roommates window and wake him up and it was raining outside.  So we wanted to get in, and he had always kept his balcony doors, unlocked.  So I thought I could climb out of the window through the hallway and climb up the balcony.  I ended up slip and falling.  Three stories, and when I fell I hit my head on the second story balcony and in result of that I broke my neck C5 C6 and severed my spinal cord, which left me a quadriplegic.  But I have partial arm movements, but no fingers, and that's how I became a quadriplegic. for right now  I live at home with my parents and my two little brothers.  One of my brothers is 11 and the other one is 9.  They are what I live my life for and I thank God every day that I'm still able to be here for them.  And I have a beautiful pit bull that is a big old baby

I grew up on the Westside of Evansville and had a wonderful childhood had everything that I ever wanted.  And then and between 10 and 13 my parents split up and got back together.  And that's when everything started going downhill for me.  We had to move away from everything that I knew and moved to the east side, which I went to Harrison high school.  I bought me an old 1972  Cutlass which inspired me to paint cars.  And then I lived for fixing up my car and my little brothers, and me and my father coached baseball for four years and then I had my accident

but I don't know what I have in store for my future, but I'm going to try going back to school at Ivy Tech.  I'm thinking about doing something with computers and cars, and I hope to someday have a family and live on my own.  I want a least one or two kid, for I can pass my name along.  And plus I love kids, but otherwise, I have no idea I live day to day.  And whatever happens happens, and there is always a reason for that
