Hello...

I joined the group,and I would love to become  good friends with you
all. My name is Niels, I am almost 17 and I have CP with a severe
scoliosis. Single. I use an electric wheelchair for movement.
I come from the Netherlands, during the weeks I live in Arnhem, in an
institution for physically handicapped people, it's quite nice there,
but at the moment I am in a rehabillitation-center. During the weekends
I live in the rural-area which is named Everdingen, together with other
family-members and pets.
I follow "exam-education", that's going well and I hope to become
journalist someday.
My interests are: friends, internetting, photography, philosophy,
reading and writing, a bit of TV and lots of music, I played
wheelchair-hockey as a defender for 7 years. Last but not least I am
very active in disability-advocacy and youth-politics, so as you can see
I am always busy, but I shall always reply to everyone's e-mails. I am
open-minded and a good listener so I am willing to discuss every topic
you want.
Tell me more about youreself if you want, so that we can become good
friends.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Niels

PS. I am currently working on my own advocacy-organization for the
disabled, it's internet-orientated.
