The Right Attitude

"Don't let your disability get you down because then you're gonna give up. Ya gotta fight. Twenty-four hours, seven-days-a-week, fight. I was in a car accident in 1996. Fourteen-year-old kid hit me. I had a '76 Duster; he had a Bronco. He hit me so hard he knocked the body off the frame of the back of the car. I didn't feel nothing, but I was so mad I got up, got out of the car, chased him around, and I said, 'I'm gonna kill ya! I'm gonna kill ya!' Well, that never happened. Cop came and said, 'I'll handle this' and I said, 'Somebody better because this is wrong.' So just do what you gotta do and fight. Don't let the chair or your handicaps get you down."
