Who I Am
My name is Archer Hadley. I was born with cerebral palsy. This is a condition caused by premature birth where amniotic fluid floods the brain and killed part of it. I'm confined but not stopped by my power wheelchair. I'm a senior at Austin High School in the Academy for Global Studies. As a senior I have to complete something called a Capstone project. The project is not restricted to any specific mold but rather what the student is passionate about. Therefore I'm going to raise money to install automatic doors in both the main entrances and on the third floor. I'm going to hold something called a Mr. Maroo Challenge. The challenge will go like this. Students and faculty members will nominate each other to spend a day at school in a manual wheelchair. This exercise is meant to be fun for all who participate as well as an eye-opening experience to what it's like to live in a wheelchair. So please come out and support my cause and let's have fun.
