My name
My name is Michael Gray. I am many things in a lot of different ways. I want to talk about how people see me. People who know me very well like my family, they see me as a young man in a power wheelchair who is bright and funny. They see me as I am no different than anybody else in the world. There are other people who know me like my friends, they see me as a guy in a power wheelchair who is smart and happy. At school, most of them know me and they see me as popular (of course, not as popular as Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson), but still very popular. There are also some people who don't know me at all like the strangers on the street, they see me as a human being in a power wheelchair who has something wrong with him and not smart. They only see the outside of me. When you see some people in a wheelchair that you don't know, you immediately think they aren't normal. That isn't always true. Once you get to know them, then you will start to realize they are normal from the inside. When I am around little children and they don't know me, they just stare at me for very long time. It makes me mad.Wouldn't you be? It drives me nut. I just want to turn invisible and that would be epic. I do understand why they stare at me for very long time, but still it makes me mad because I don't like to be stare at. It makes me to feel uncomfortable. I do like people who aren't afraid to come and talk to me. I enjoy it and it helps them to know me better. Also it helps me to get to know them better. People see me in different ways than others, but I believe my name is the way I am.
