Excerpt from story 1

The metal racks of my grocery cart bounced annoyingly every time it ran over a seam in the sidewalk as I pushed it to Old Main from my dorm that first morning of classes.

I had strategically placed my books in all four corners of the cart's basket, thinking that would cut down on the clatter.

But, the fall air, quiet and heavy with dew, carried the clanking up and down the street.

Already that morning I had walked farther and faster down a street than I had ever gone unaided -- without someone else beside me providing balance and protection against pedestrian and auto traffic. That was exhilarating.

Yet, I could feel the quick glances of curiosity from those walking to and from class on both sides of the street. The grocery cart, which included a metal baby seat, was so noisy on that crisp morning.  It was drawing attention to my disability instead of helping me melt into campus life unnoticed, as I had unrealistically hoped.

I cringed as I rolled the cart over another crack in the sidewalk. My feet hopped uncontrollably as I leaned on the cart's handle bar and tried to keep up with the easy roll of the cart's hard, black wheels. I wanted to disappear into the bushes along the sidewalk.
