Paralympian's Experience by Nikki Lowe https://padlet.com/nicolelowe5302/di6q8ry8tmriwceh en-us 2024-09-17 00:38:48 UTC 2024-09-17 00:48:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Eric Newby nicolelowe5302 https://padlet.com/nicolelowe5302/di6q8ry8tmriwceh/wish/3122607333 Eric Newby became paralyzed after a car accident on the night of his high school graduation. He is able to play rugby in a wheelchair using a specialized sports wheelchair that is lightweight and easily movable. He also has to have a lot of upper body strength. A mental struggle that he faced was having to completely relearn how to live, since he was not paralyzed until he was a young adult. That must have been crushing for him. If I were in that situation, I would have felt hopeless. I don't think that I would have felt as motivated to get into a sport as he did.
