I'm racing down my street going about 100th, I'm approaching the first corner, Bang! I go into a coma. When I wake up I'm in a hospital with 12 doctors around me.

My mum, dad and brother are all crying. "You've been in a coma for 2 days" one of the doctors said. There is something weird though I can't feel my legs and my head hurts a lot.

2 weeks later all the tube are detached from me. It's the first time I get to go out of the hospital. In need to stay in a wheel chair for the rest of my life.

A month has past since my crash, I'm back at school but I get bullied for being disabled. I want to kill my self I want to die I don't need to go through he'll every day.

I pray every day that I will walk again. One day when I woke up I felt different felt my legs! I got up to walk, I took about 3 steps then collapsed.

The next day I took 4 steps but this time my mum saw me and almost fainted. That day I went to the hospital and the doctor said my back is healing so the nerves can connect.

One year later I can walk, although I need a neck supporter I am back to normal. I also told mum about the bullying and I am going to a different school.
