PRC Profile of Success - Seth Mullen
"Behind
almost every great man there stands either a good parent or a good teacher."
This was written by Gilbert Highet in the book Man's Unconquerable Mind in 1954.
I like this quote because I liked my 5th grade teacher. She was a great person.
My name is Seth Mullen. My birthday is May 31. I have scoliosis. Do you know what scoliosis is? It is a deformity of the spine that curves or is S-shaped.
In July 2004, I had deep brain stimulation surgery at the University of Chicago. The doctors went in my brain and put metal plates with electrodes.
In May 2005, in Chicago, I had spinal fusion for scoliosis at the Children's Memorial Hospital. My spine is much better. I need physical therapy each week. It helps my back feel good. After my surgery I got to read Harry Potter. I have not read all the Harry Potter books. Surgery was good and the book was great!
When I am out of school I like the Boy Scouts and Order of the Arrow. I think it is fun. Over the summer I work cutting grass with my brother. I want the money to buy things.
"We have to move ahead, but we are not going to leave anyone behind." This quote was spoken by Ronald Reagan in his speech at the Republican National Convention, July, 1980. I like this quote because he is my favorite President.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." This was written by Eleanor Roosevelt in the book This Is My Story in 1937. I like the quote because she is my favorite woman.
I have a Pathfinder. I have been using it for the past six years. I use my Pathfinder to write, for example my profile, and to communicate. I'm grateful for my Pathfinder.
Thank you.
Seth
