But in reality, I don't know why I was really surprised by this story, because when I was five years old, and my mother, like mothers and fathers all across the United States, was taking me to school to enroll, she pushed my wheelchair to the school in walking distance to our house, pulled the wheelchair up the steps into the school, and we were greeted by the principal.
Na verdade, não sei por que fiquei surpresa com essa história porque, quando eu tinha cinco anos, minha mãe, como qualquer mãe e pai nos EUA, me levou pra me matricular na escola. Ela foi me empurrando na cadeira de rodas até a escola, que ficava perto de casa, puxou a cadeira de rodas pelas escadas até entrarmos na escola, onde fomos saudadas pelo diretor.
