"I'm sort of like an ordinary kid. I feel as healthy as any child could be. [But] I'm the only person in my school with a pacemaker or a heart problem. That doesn't really bother me because I don't really get offended if people call me names. . . Kids try to be more careful around me. . . When I tell kids about my heart condition they try to treat me with more respect. And my friend, his sister acts really nice to me. Sometimes I even think she likes me. A lot."
