Hi Leon, I was the one who asked you to write more about yourself.

I tried to upload a video but found it doesn't work with the media button. That is only for pictures I think. You can ask on chat. I always use chat when I want to know how to do something. Sometimes I will have to ask two, three, or four times before I get an answer. That is because everything submitted in chat continues to move down as the next one comes in to it. So it may take a while for someone who knows how to actually see your question. Usually I get an answer within 30 minutes or so.

You're lucky to be alive. I did the same thing when I was 14. I dove into some water and hit my head. Doctors could not believe I could still move. I had surgery and came out good. Doctors thought I wouldn't be able to move after surgery or that I might die. A lot of people prayed for me. I still have pain because of that but I am able to move everything. I was very very lucky.

***Answer some more questions for me. How old are you? Where ***do you live? Which lesson are you working on for WA?

You answer these by mail. Click on the picture of the mail at the top right or your screen. I think I will get it. I have used the mail a couple of times to ask questions of certain people and it worked so let's give it a try ok?

I understand that this will be difficult for you. Do you know who Steven Hawking was? He was one of the world's top people in physics. He was also paralyzed completely and could not even talk. He had a machine that he could write with by moving his head. He wrote many books and was totally amazing. You should learn about him as he can be a role model for you.

Leon, I am a teacher and have spent many years helping and teaching people with severe disabilities. One thing I have learned from all the people I have worked with is being successful at anything comes from your mind. The disability will only prevent you from doing things if you let it.

Those who have become successful have some things in common. They all make the decision that their disability will not stop them no matter what. Most develop a strong spiritual life. Most also begin learning some form of art or music. Some become great artist by holding a paint brush or pencil in their mouth. As you can imagine they didn't learn quickly.

Being successful at anything will take so much more work than before your accident. It will take you longer to get through things. You may have to do some things several times to get it right. You will get frustrated and discouraged and sometimes you will get angry. That is all OK, it is normal.

If you are willing to answer my questions and follow my directions and decide you are going to keep going no matter how hard it gets then I will work with you. I also suggest you you ask help from littlemama who said she would be willing to be your coach.

So, step one is to answer my questions I asked at the beginning, send it to me by mail from the little mail picture at the top right, and let me know your decision if you are willing to do all this hard work.

Leon, I am looking forward to hearing from you. I may take a while to answer because I sometimes don't use a computer for several days but most times it should only be a day or two.
