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.
In realtà, non so perché,  fui molto sorpresa da quella storia, perché a cinque anni, mia madre, come tutte le mamme  e i papà negli Stati Uniti, mi stava portando a iscrivermi a scuola, spinse la mia sedia a rotelle  verso la scuola, a due passi da casa, tirò la sedia su per gli scalini  della scuola, e fummo accolti dal preside.
