"To dream is one thing to accomplish your dream is another, however if you can be the best that you can be you've won life altogether.."
Overview (A Little About Me)
I was severely injured in a car accident when I was 2 years old. I have brain damage which is an open head wound. I have lost my vision in one eye by 70% and lost all my surrounding vision. I'm paralysed down the left side of my body and have very little use of my left arm and hand. I have a limp which is to do with my spine and I love to inspire people who want to be inspired. I love the fact I'm like this and love the fact that people love to listen to my story. I love hugs, good friends and a great laugh.
