I loved playing football.My dream was to play in college. My grades were not that good. I suffer from a LD problem. That made schools not be to interested in me. I found a college that wanted me. I went there and got red shirted ( sat out) to work on my grades and get my body in ready to play in college. My grades were good my body was in shape. At that time I was 5'10 240lbs benched 340 squatted over 500 pounds and had a 52" chest and a 36" waste. I was on cloud nine. I came home for the summer. Got a job went to summer school and workout. My job was with a power company, I changed light bulbs in stop lights. I bought a car, I never been so happy in my life. All my dreams were coming true. That summer I got hit by a semi while I was in the cheery picking bucket and got knocked out of it. Was threw 100ft and fell 15 ft on to my head. I was put into a coma for two months. I had to learn everything over again, feeding myself,talking,and walking.
I would really like to help people in trying not to lose hope in yourself or the ones you love. My saying is that no matter what happens in life there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and never lose hope.
