>> Nicholas: They do a lot of things.
They carry me up to bed
and just help me if I need to.
They help put me in my chair and stuff like that.
My mum,
because my dad goes to work really early in the morning
so he's not there in the mornings.
My mum has to, we've got stairs
so my mum has to bring me down the stairs
then because I normally don't eat breakfast
so I have to get
a feeding tube then mum has to help dress me
and then I have to brush my teeth
and get ready and go on my chair
and we're ready.
I just started,
I think it was last,
well I started a little bit
at the end of last year I think it was.
>> Interviewer: What was that like?
>> Nicholas: It was exciting for me.
>> Interviewer: What were you most excited about?
>> Nicholas: Just meeting kids around the area
and just going and playing with the normal kids
and being in the normal class.
Just meeting all new people
and making new friends
and just being in high school you know.
>> Interviewer: And is it hard for you to meet new friends?
>> Nicholas: No, no.
>> Interviewer: Why is that?
>> Nicholas: Because, I don't know,
it's just
I try and talk to people
and just be me.
I don't have like a certain favorite subject at school
but when I get old I was saying
the other day that I would
maybe like to do acting so.
>> Interviewer: Acting?
>> Nicholas: Yeah
Sometimes
>> Interviewer: What do you find difficult about it?
>> NIcholas: Like if they're playing
a game or if they're playing
like soccer or football I just watch it
so ...
>> Interviewer: How do you feel?
>> Nicholas: I feel like I want to play with them too so.
I wish I could walk
and I wish I could talk louder
because I've got a soft voice and yeah.
Not on my legs I've got like a feeding tube in my stomach
and I had to have an operation for that.
>> Interviewer: And what's it like having the operations?
>> Nicholas: When I have them,
I haven't had too many,
but when I did have I felt scared when I had my operation.
Yes,
yeah.
Because I do some things that I never thought I would do.
I went to a school
and I did rock climbing
and I went all the way up to the top of the rock.
That I'm friendly
and happy.
