I don't know if he meant that /u/gatorbite92's comment was inspirational, or it's inspirational to bang Emily Osment.

Hi Christian!!

We went to high school together, but we weren't really friends. How was high school for you? From my perspective as a fellow classmate, it seemed people weren't too judgmental of your condition or mean about it - just confused by it. I hope you understood this and didn't feel too isolated. It seemed like you had a lot of friends. I always wondered how you felt - everyone knew who you were. I can't imagine that. Also, I'll never forgot those cool light up wheels you had on your wheelchair. I hope you still have them.

What are you planning on doing once you get your BA in English? I got my BSEd in English and there are so many different options you can pursue.

I'm sorry to hear that you were depressed during high school but glad to hear it got better. I imagine it would be very hard not to constantly wonder "why me?". I'm happy to hear you're doing better.

As far as your English degree goes.. might I suggest getting in to some freelance writing? Two of my English major friends went on to do freelance writing.. one writes for a blog about wine, the other writes for various sports blogs and the like. You could do it from home and on the computer - which you seem pretty proficient in. The key is to find writing opportunities about stuff you're passionate about, I think. For you, I would imagine that would be gaming. I can't offer much more insight personally but it's worth looking into! Just an idea :) I used my English degree to get a job in IT.. so really you just have to be flexible, creative, and open. You can use the broadness of an English degree to your advantage - you can argue that the degree helped hone/master your attention to detail and analyzing, writing, reading, communication skills, etc. which are basically requirements for any job.
