Bobby was invited to the school to give a personal account of his affliction. He presented a power point program of his school days and answered questionsasked by some of the students.There were many questions and he answered all of them though his ECO-14 computer that enables him to talk.Through the machine he was able to tell the students what it's like to have CP and how he goes through an every day routine with the help of an aide at home and his sister and two brothers. He is the son of Robert and Patricia O'Gurek of Summit Hill andgraduated from Panther Valley High School in 1999.During the program he explained the adaptations he needed to make it in the world.
