:03:42. > :03:49.and this is my school. I like playing wheelchair

:03:50. > :03:50.basketball, I compete I wouldn't say I'm great at it,

:03:51. > :04:01.but I really like the sport. So in the past, I wasn't able

:04:02. > :04:04.to do as much as I could, due to my old wheelchair,

:04:05. > :04:14.as it was heavy. I had next to no independence,

:04:15. > :04:17.I had to be pushed everywhere, I had to be supervised all the time,

:04:18. > :04:20.which was pretty awful. I needed a new wheelchair,

:04:21. > :04:23.and thanks to a charity, I got a new one, which has helped me

:04:24. > :04:26.in many different ways. Now I can manoeuvre greatly around

:04:27. > :04:34.the school and it allows me to play with my friends a lot more,

:04:35. > :04:36.and it also allows me to play my favourite sport,

:04:37. > :04:39.which is basketball. When I got the wheelchair,

:04:40. > :04:41.I was like overexcited, I was so happy that I had finally

:04:42. > :04:46.got a new wheelchair. To anybody who is starting

:04:47. > :04:55.school with a wheelchair, I'm just going to say,

:04:56. > :04:58.stay positive, and just get stuck You will make tonnes of friends

:04:59. > :05:06.and it will be a lot And Prince George
