“Nonny! It’s time for school!”

That’s Gavriel Farber calling me. He’s my helper. I have cerebral palsy which means my brain doesn’t look exactly like yours. Because of that I need a wheelchair and some parts of my body hang a little funny. My wheelchair is electric which is awesome except I can’t use the electric part on Shabbos. Maybe that’s a good thing though because Gavriel needs to do something to earn all that money my parents pay him for helping me.

I call my wheelchair Turbojet. Oh I know my wheelchair is no airplane but I still feel like it makes me fly. Also since I spend more time with my wheelchair than I do with my own family I figured I ought to give it a name like you would a best friend. Sometimes I call him TJ for short.

“I’m coming!”
