Dream Chaser in a Wheelchair
Since the
age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming
a dancer. That
ambition nearly ended in
2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put
the 17-
year-old high school senior in
hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from
the
waist down. For most people, that
would have destroyed any hope of a dancing
career. But for Hill, it was the
beginning. Far from being a barrier, her
wheelchair
encouraged her to fight.
“I
want to prove to everyone
including myself that I'm still
normal,” she said,
means.
Normal for her meant dancing, so
Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her
nondisabled high school dance team.
Half of her body was taken away from her,
so she had to move it with her hands.
It took much learning and patience.
After graduation from high school, Hill
wanted to expand her dance network
to
include women like her. She met people online who
were fighting for the dream
of dancing against various
spinal(
脊椎的
)injuries, and
invited them to dance with
her. To
reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to
Los Angeles in 2014 and
formed a team
of dancers with disabilities she called the
Rollettes.
Every

participants from ten countries
attended. For many, it was the first time they'd
felt
they belonged. Edna
Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes team
gave her
the courage to get behind the
wheel of a car.
“I didn't know I could
do so many
things that my fellow
teammates had taught me.” she said. “I didn't know
I coul

be sexy. It's so
powerful to have my teammates in my life, because
they're my
teachers. I have more
confidence.”

dream. She
has been chasing her dream
in the wheelchair. She's a dancer. The Rollettes
