He was born a congenital amputee and stands three foot eight as an adult. Although he has no extension of his arms or legs, he has not been limited in his career or in his personal life. After graduating from Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, he went on to work for NBC affiliates in upstate New York and today is the director of corporate support for WMHT, the public broadcasting television station in Albany. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRobinson's success did not come easily. From learning how to dress himself after going away to college, to making new friends and feeling accepted, he struggled to come to terms with his disability and make a life\u003cbr\u003eon his own. Although his journey may not be considered \"normal,\" he does not see this as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to succeed and to understand the meaning of responsibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRobinson writes in an honest, personal voice, showing that a disability does not have to get in the way of an education, a career, a family, or one of his favorite hobbies, golf. \u003ci\u003eGet Off Your Knees\u003c\/i\u003e is a touching story and, as\u003cbr\u003eRobinson says, is for \"anyone who feels they need inspiration, whether it be an individual with a mental or physical disability, parents of children with disabilities, or someone looking to overcome an obstacle in life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815609612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815609612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"John Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988292305151,"sku":"9780815609612","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f3a206f-e40c-4596-9264-52bb5d0d5e71.jpg?v=1683293710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/get-off-your-knees-john-robinson-9780815609612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
