Thinking about the future

“I hope that I’ll be able to learn to drive. It looks from what my friends got that an abled bodied person would be able to drive it, she’s got a lever for a brake and then she’s got her accelerator which is like another metal wheel behind the wheel of the car, so she just like pulls it towards the wheel and then it kind of just accelerates from there. I’d like to drive, it would make me feel more grown up. Obviously I’d like to drive in the future for when I get my own job and have my own children. I won’t be able to ask my mum if she can give them lift to school, so I’ll need to learn to drive eventually .”

“I know when I’m gonna get older, I know this is gonna get worse, well when I say older, I’m on about in my fifties, sixties… I know how cerebral palsy is, I’ve seen people… but I’m not thinking about that. That stage for me is years away. But at the moment I know when I get older, I’ll probably be in a wheelchair just because I know how my muscles will be, but to be honest I’m not really that bothered… I take things when they come... That’s all I can do.”
