Age: 17

City: Surprise, AZ

Brain Injury:  TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) & CONCUSSION

Explanation of Brain Injury:  My sister was playing soccer and got a TBI. She had to basically start over with life: math, reading, talking and walking. She went to rehab, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and everything. She only spoke Spanish for 2 weeks, and wrote using pictures and how she thought words were spelled. She was in the hospital for a week and a half.

Explanation of Mask:   I could never say this is my story, but Grace is my twin sister and we did everything together from sharing the womb, our room, friends, sports and so much more. So, one half of my mask is everything we share while the second half is life after my sisters brain injury.
