I think without all of that, I wouldn't have had an integrated
  body-mind sense. I worked with the kids from that same Cerebral
  Palsy Center in my early 20s and I saw a bunch of versions of
  "me" in different stages, so it was nice to spend a year helping
  the people (the Center) that helped me. Good closure. I still
  have occupational therapy on my list of "go to school, get the
  paper and do it if you want" because working with struggling ppl
  comes easy.
