Peter Vishneski Is Speaking -- Life From a Wheelchair
October 21, over a decade ago: Peter Vishneski was driving late at night with friends and became tired behind the wheel. He nodded off. He woke up in the ICU two days later unable to move his fingers properly.  You will fall in love with Peter, or Mr. Vishneski, as his students call him. The once-physical-therapy-student-turned-HS-Biology-teacher has lessons for his students beyond composition of starch in a potato or backing up essays in Google Drive. To listen to Peter is to learn the strength of resilience, the power of overcoming grief, and the truth that sometimes kids just get it better than adults.  Your lovely cohosts had the privilege of seeing Peter as the brilliant Professor X in the OPRF HS premier of X-Men: Mad Ave (the musical), and we just had to have him on the show. To see him perform, to hear him sing, to hear him speak about his recovery and renewal, and to learn how to be a better ally and champion from him, you definitely understand what he means when you he says that life after his spinal cord injury has been “a net positive.”  We know you will fall in love with Peter Vishneski as we did. And for goodness sake, hold the door open for people, for everybody. It’s just good manners.
