​

Over 18 years ago, at the young age of 15, I was in a car accident that left me in a coma for approximately 3 months.

 

This accident has changed my life from both a physical and mental aspect. While my accident has permanently affected my life, it has also altered the lives of those closest to me.

 

Through the struggles I have encountered since my accident I have developed a passion to give back to the community that has helped to push me during my trials and tribulations. By telling other young adults about my struggles and the decisions I have made in my life, I hope to be able to take a negative outcome and turn into a positive for others.

 

If my story causes one person to second guess their actions in different situations or to view their life in a different light, then I have accomplished my goal.
