My body slams into the ground. I get up wipe the dust off my back‚ pop my board into my hand‚ and sprint up the stair set for one more go. Growing up I fit the skateboarder stereotype‚ I was a skater boy who didn’t care about his future. Little did anyone know‚ skating was the one thing that kept me going. I spent most of my days skating after school until dark only to come home to my parents screaming at me to throw my board in the trash. Coming from Bangladesh‚ my parents always wanted me to

Before we knew it‚ we were losing 9-10‚ but we had the ball‚ and I was about to score a layup. But number 21‚ who we called “Bowser‚” came charging at me and sent me flying off court.

Everyone’s engaged in one another‚ talking joking and laughing around the table.

And I remember my doctor’s response quite clearly: “Well‚ do you want to see all the time?” Suffice it to say I didn’t find his response amusing—more like merely facing reality.
