It feels great being the first person in a wheelchair in Bermuda to pass Project Ride. Now I have a lot more freedom to get to school and home by myself.

It is pretty interesting to see the reaction on people's faces when I ride. The community of Bermuda is very helpful and whenever I need any assistance they always check on me to see if I'm okay.

The most driving that I do is from my home in St. George's to The Berkeley Institute and back. I wake up at 6 a.m., and I am usually out of the house by 7.30 to get to school. The only time that I do not ride is when it rains. Sometimes I stop at the gas station to get gas, when needed, and my bike will take up to $5 worth of gas, maximum. Other times I ride to the MarketPlace in Shelly Bay if I need anything. The farthest that I have gone on my bike is from my house to my nanny's house in Southampton.

I have a cousin named Carlton Tuzo who rides home with me everyday to help me get into my house until I get an elevator installed. My grandfather and my parents played a very important role in getting the bike for me.

My grandfather helped by paying for the bike after my father did some research on it and showed it to me on the Internet. The bike was shipped to Bermuda in August 2007 and I started Project Ride in September. Then on November 9, I went to TCD and did my riding test and passed it. I really love riding on Bermuda's roads.
