I can’t talk. I can’t walk. I can’t feed myself or take myself to the bathroom. Big bummer.
My arms and hands are pretty stiff, but I can mash the buttons on the TV remote and move
my wheelchair with the help of knobs that I can grab on the wheels. I can’t hold a spoon or apencil without dropping it. And my balance is like zip—Humpty Dumpty had more control than Ido.
When people look at me, I guess they see a girl with short, dark, curly hair strapped into apink wheelchair. By the way, there is nothing cute about a pink wheelchair. Pink doesn’t changea thing.
They’d see a girl with dark brown eyes that are full of curiosity. But one of them is slightly
out of whack. Her head wobbles a little. Sometimes she drools. She’s really tiny for a girl who isage ten and three-quarters. Her legs are very thin, probably because they’ve never been used.
After people got finished making a list of my problems, they might take time to notice that I
have a fairly nice smile and deep dimples—I think my dimples are cool.
Sometimes, people never even ask my name, like it’s not important or something. It is. My
name is Melody.
