My Story | Paralysis & Quadriplegia

[@elliothashtag]

Mr O! You were my leadership teacher and my next door neighbor a couple years ago back in HS. It’s so crazy to find you on my recommended! You are a huge inspiration to everyone - don’t listen to the haters on KZbin. Thanks for sharing your story. And your courage to get through the unknown gives me courage to get through the unknown as well, because my mom just died. I hope everything is good with you ❤️

[@coreyaustin14]

bo jones I am sorry to hear about your mom. Let me know if you ever need anything or if you want to talk. And thank you for actually watching. It’s actually pretty funny that I have haters lol

[@NajSinghs]

Thank you for sharing your story! You are an inspiration, and your in the 253! Keep up the good work!!

[@mszan1]

Oh my!!! I can't even imagine all you've gone through to get to where you are today with your injury. It is truly inspiring to see you turned that negative situation into a positive one.

[@tiasky3438]

I got so sad when you started saying you were visiting home! I’m so sorry this happened. You’re awesome.

[@Helena42246]

Thank you for sharing your story. It was heartbreaking to listen too. You are such an amazing individual and I'm very proud of you for continuing to prosper in life instead of making excuses of why your unable to succeed. Keep pushing forward..you are Amazing!!!

[@heidimiele6835]

You are so blessed to be alive. That could have gone so many ways. I’m sure you realize that. I believe God has a plan and a purpose for your life. I had not been following you this just came up on my feed. I’m going to subscribe because your story is one of inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I am 47 and the last 7 + years have been nothing but one tragedy after another. I have had one putty party after another but after watching your story I feel inspired to stop all that. I truly have nothing to complain about and I see that I need to start living my life in all circumstances. Thank you for sharing. God bless

[@lashundasmith3814]

You're truly awesome. You do favor, Tiger Woods. I was born with cerebral palsy, and sometimes I find myself feeling down but stories like yours encourages me. Have a happy new year. God bless you.

[@missmissy1636]

You’re so handsome, I pray you get all the good things you want!!!

[@roqiiroq]

I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m glad.. your purpose is greater than your sacrifice. I’m glad that your friends were there to help you .. stay blessed 🥂 #NewSubscriber

[@Linds1.9.0.8.]

Thank you for sharing, I’m so sorry that happened to you and completely unrelated I’m also a Raiders fan 💕

[@louiedangelo3843]

Stay strong Corey, your story inspires many to stop complaining about nonsense. You are a champion in my eyes.

[@RUMble_AK49]

I too was injured in 2010 in Hawaii while surfing and injured my back and became a para t10. I can relate to your story also being in shape and fully active in my prime years but had to push carry on and continued my life. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@brandonpetty5633]

Came across your page after your controller video. My accident was June 6, 2006....Keep doing your thing!

[@Alex-yh7nm]

Your story is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@wisdommmusicgroup1739]

I really appreciate you sharing this. I’m sorry this happened to you, I’m sure u miss not being able to be active. Although I’m not able to relate. I have severe nerve damage and can no longer enjoy running and dancing. I realized how much I took 4 granted. But your story helps me keep trying to move forward and not dwell on things outside my control

[@Ivehadenuff]

Best wishes that you are well and thriving.❤

[@1quadlove118]

[@management9906]

I just happened across your video, and one minute in to this video, i knew you were a local boy! I am from Kailua, and so many of my fondest memories are in Kailua beach and Lanikai. You’re story made me pause, and reflect on all of the things I am currently stressing over. Mahalo for sharing your story, I am sending some positive thoughts your way!

[@adamdelarozza1985]

i'm T-9 para incomplete from a 57 Ford, crash, the dash is steel in that year.. No one knows me as a para, i'm just a guy with a cane! The first diagnosis name was what they called it , in the 60's. Upper motor neuron lesion thoracic ninth vertebra (UMNL T-9) is how they describe it now. Thanks for sharing your story, that takes courage and also conveys the dangers of the Ocean..Sorry about that accident and to happen at home too, that's rough. Keep good positive thoughts, spinal cord injury could see some much waited for advances tech advances.🤞 i'm in the electronics field...maybe interface computer to spinal cord is what i think will be possible .

Cory, I was touched by your story. One thing is for sure, you are a strong and confident individual. You look strong and healthy. Keep doing what you are doing Stay surrounded by positive upbeat people. I dont know if you have a girlfriend but if not get you one. You are extremely handsome and articulate. You will make some young lady happy and she you.

So inspiring. You can do anything. ❤️

[@germainescott1823]

WOW! That's sound crazy! I. Saying that because it seems like the action of running towards the beach water and hitting the sand would cause that much damage. Im thankful for this handsome young man sharing this story..... It makes me appreciate what I'm dealing with and I'm trying not to complain anymore about my personal "StUFF" that I feel ain't fair in my life .

[@umpus]

Every single story I've heard is this same one. I will NEVER dive into the water.

[@MissMarshall]

I’m glad you’re ok! I’ve heard most quads are able to recover over with a lot exercise and a positive mind. You don’t even look like anything’s wrong. Just a young handsome man!

[@frankierepalda]

[@kinnish5267]

[@thechariotvii9259]

Nice to meet you bro. I got hurt diving into a pool. C7.

[@AM-bl2cs]

life flashing before your eyes is your brain trying to find any solution to help you, it's panic mode basically

[@tonykartracer8032]

Damn, homie...... I think we've all had passing thoughts of being confined to a wheelchair (as I'm sure you probably had before your accident) but you're actually living it. I mean it's not the end of the world but still, just in a split second and your whole life changes. Sometimes we don't realize how fragile life actually is until shit hits the fan, that's human nature I suppose, taking things for granted.

[@reaganandrews7870]

That’s like a complete freak accident😱

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

You’re a cool dude Corey. We all have challenges, all are not equal. Stay strong man. I’ll be in Maui later this year, I’d like to buy you dinner and share with you the challenges that I face. Take care bro. 🤙

Hey what’s up! My name is Ariel and about 20 months ago I became paralyzed from my neck down and it’s slowly getting better. I have a KZbin channel where I interview people who are dealing with or have overcome things like cancer, paralysis, rape, Etc... I was wondering if we could video chat and if I could hear your story and your advice to inspire others who are dealing with the same thing as you please let me know and God bless❤️

[@WillChil466]

Your sound is not good. U need to have textiles to soften it . Football injured you? No. The ocean. Surfing? No. Horsing around. No rock. Just the sand. Oooooooo. Than k u . Must have been so hard to tell the world . You are a strong person of character and intelligence. Admiration.

[@abijessop4065]

[@MissMarshall]

I’ll have to tell my daughter no diving at the beach. I already told her no diving in pools. Actually I’ll just say NO DIVING at all. Sounds about right. lol

Would u be in a relationship with a guy?

[@coreyaustin14]

I will respectfully decline

[@Truth2power5848]

Don’t blame you Corey, and respectfully, it’s clear you seem highly straight and it’s weird for a internet comment to ask you to become or if your trying to be homosexual, that’s crazy and has nothing to do with your amazing story of strength through adversity and I’m sure you will find a beautiful wife who loves you if that’s what you want of course stay blessed

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

Oh hey Corey, I just noticed your couch. You in the RaiderNation??? I am. There’s a KZbin guy from Hawaii, Samoan Raider. He’s cool. I think you need to make a trek to Las Vegas. Experience a game and tailgating in The Black Hole. Let’s do this dude!!! 🏴‍☠️🤙
