Five years ago, I had a traffic accident which left me paraplegic. For that reason, I fell into a depression. I felt really bad about myself. But one day, I went to an association and there they helped me overcome my fears. Moreover, I decided to train hard every day. and now I play for the national paralympic basketball team. It's cool, right? Now I am very happy.

Clever stuff happening!
