My name is lucas Brown. Growing up, I have always had this mentality that I'd never become like other kids at school because I had Aspergers syndrome...growing up over the years, that was a very hard thing to live with because I always Got bullied, teased and I was called a dork with glasses several times.
"Mum I gotta go" I said to my mother as I rode my bike towards school very early in the morning just to carry out my daily routine which is running away from bullies (if they catch me...I'll find my head in a trash can) After getting into the soccer team, and winning different games, I wanted more, I wanted to go for gymnastics try outs but before that, we played against the wild tigers and we were the Vikings... It was epic!, we beat the wild tigers 3-0...I was elated.

I'm the person holding the football.
I left the football field and made my way to the gym to find my way into the team, different talented students performed on the balance beam and finally it was my turn, I made my way to the beam stood on it and about to start my routine, I looked around and saw people throwing papers at me and saying "boo! Go back to being a looser dork" a tear dropped from my eyes because I was so happy, I felt so loved because I got that kind of attention from the students of western high school. Coach walked up to me and said "Lucas? Why are you on a balance beam, boys don't participate in this...go and try the horizontal bars". " yes coach"I replied. I grabbed the bar and started flipping, and swinging and doing all those other things gymnasts are not expected to do...I was just doing rubbish and about to end, I did my final flip and it didn't go well because my hand slipped from the bar and I fell...right now, the video of that event is on YouTube,I was so embarrassed, I hated myself.

I ran out of the gym and into the toilet, I sat down and banged the toilet door so hard that coach had to enter. "Coach? Why do I suck at gymnastics" I asked coach."Lucas? You don't suck, you just need practice and a little miracle from God...try asking God for a miracle, he'll do it, trust me son...I HV seen potential in you and I believe in you" coach said "Thanks Coach" I answered.
