:03:13. > :03:16.school. I like playing wheelchair basketball, I compete at quite a

:03:17. > :03:21.high level in it. I like tennis. I wouldn't say I'm great at it but I

:03:22. > :03:26.really like the sport. So in the past, I wasn't able to do as much as

:03:27. > :03:33.I could, because of my old wheelchair, as it was heavy. I had

:03:34. > :03:38.next to their independence, I have to be pushed everywhere, I had to be

:03:39. > :03:44.supervised all the time, which was pretty awful. I needed a new

:03:45. > :03:48.wheelchair, and thanks to a charity, I got a new one, which has helped me

:03:49. > :03:52.in many different ways. It has made my life a lot better. Now I can

:03:53. > :03:56.manoeuvre greatly around the school and it allows me to play with my

:03:57. > :04:01.friends a lot more, and it also allows me to play my favourite

:04:02. > :04:05.sport, which is basketball. When I got the wheelchair, I was like

:04:06. > :04:12.overexcited, I was so happy that I had finally got a new wheelchair.

:04:17. > :04:20.a wheelchair, I'm just going to say, stay positive, and just get stuck

:04:21. > :04:24.in, get involved like everyone else. Don't worry, you are no different.
