A little boy with a significant disability writes of things that bother him. He appears to be in a very foul mood.
Johnny Sandusky, here.
Pardon me if I come across like I am angry or upset, but the thing is, I AM upset; and I AM very angry!
For starters, I am mad because some kid at my school called me a "loser", and he was making faces at me the entire day. He said he didn't like me because I was in a wheelchair, and he told me that he didn't like kids who were disabled "because they made him uncomfortable". Now how dumb is that?
Secondly, I am mad because we are going to war; and I think it is a war we don't NEED to be in! America has enough problems of her own as it is; WHY are we going after Iraq?? Why can't we take care of our OWN people, especially the ones who are poor or handicapped? What about the senior citizens who can't afford medical care or those people who work, but they still struggle to pay their bills? WHY aren't we helping THEM?? And what about the kids in our country who are being abused or going hungry night after night?? We DON'T need to be going after NO IRAQ!! :(
I am also mad because Ronee' and I got into a fight; it seems that people are always bragging about her, and NOT about me, and I get jealous! Someone was bragging about her, and I got mad and called Ronee' a "nasty twit", and she hit me with her crutch! My arm is still smarting, and she won't even look, let alone, talk to me! Usually, we get along great, but sometimes I just want to KICK HER! She gets me so mad at times! I wish I had her talent, and I wish all those good things that have happened to her would happen to ME!! Jealous, you say? YOU BET!! At times, I wish she wasn't my sister! (Like NOW!)
Then mommy got mad at me when she found out that Ronee' and I were fighting, and now I have been banished to my room "to think of what I said to Ronee'" and "to get over my mad" (as she put it--mommy, not Ronee'). I can't even watch television or read or play my video games until I apologize to Ronee', but right now I DON'T want to apologize! She can be such a sorehead at times! (Ronee', NOT mommy!)
I am also mad because every day is becoming harder for me to take. I am in this dang wheelchair, and it is getting harder and harder for me to do things. I am having to ask for help more often now, 'cause my stupid muscles are weak, and I have this stupid muscular dystrophy; and nothing is being done to find a cure for it; and because of it, I am dying. Well, I KNOW I am going to Heaven to be with Jesus, as I have accepted Him into my heart and all, but still: I am just a KID, and I would LOVE to be able to grow up and have a job or a family or drive a car! I don't want to have to keep thinking about dying each and every day, but I look in the mirror, and all I see is..WHEELCHAIR. I HATE my stupid wheelchair at times, and I wish I could just throw it or my crutches or my oxygen or my pills out the window and NEVER be bothered by them again! I wish I could just fly out of this chair and run like a CHEETAH!! That would be great, but nooo..I have MD, and I absolutely HATE it!! >:(
I am also mad because I got a F on my math test, and I had been doing so well in school; but then Mr. CreepMeister (Mr. Meister, he's my teacher at school) introduced Geometry in Math, and the whole idea of shapes and stuff has gotten me BUMFUZZLED, and I am now more confused than ever! What does shapes have to do with MATH?? It just doesn't make any sense!! :( (The test was in Geometry. I failed it miserably.)
Now you know why I am so mad. I wish I wasn't mad, but I can't help it! How would you feel if you had all these bad things happen to YOU?
Sounds like Johnny has had a difficult day with a lot on his mind, I hope things start looking up for him keep up the great writing!
God Bless
