I am sure I was told that I was going to a new school, and I probably was excited at first, but once I got there, it was a nightmare. I wasn't prepared for it, and the other students weren't prepared for me. I was the only student in the school who was in a wheelchair, and they simply didn't know how to deal with it. It was hell.
