Juan Martinez is 33 years old. Two years ago he had a car wreck, causing a spinal cord injury that left him with limited use of his hands and paralyzed below his arms. Since getting out of the hospital last year, Juan has been adjusting to his new life. Now he wants to prepare for a job working with troubled children. He's going to need to go to college to do that, and Juan never finished high school. In the pages below you can follow his progress.
