Hello James

On September 10, 2012 James Sparhawk had a complete freak accident . He was too close to the edge on a roof of a 2 story house porch he was working on and fell. Due to his injuries , James became a complete T-10 paraplegic.

For a whole year , James stayed depressed. He decided to snap out of it and put himself through school . I’m 2013-2014 , James enrolled in Sampson Community College. James began school studying to be a math teacher . Now he had changed his major to be Business Administration. James will graduate in May!

Becoming a paraplegic has not stopped James. James still has issues with his bathroom difficulties but he still likes to work on things outside . James also likes to go fishing and hunting .

He told us that he is and will always be in recovery . James will always be learning something new in life . He urges others in his shoes to keep trying , keep learning and keep going ! James says “ It’s best to adapt to the best of your ability . And always remember someone else out there is struggling worse than we are “.
