City: Covington

Brain Injury: Car accident.  I was hit by an 18-wheeler while sitting at a stop sign.  It knocked my car 165 feet upside down against a house.

Explanation of Mask: My painted mask shows how I feel having a brain injury.  The black side represents the left side of my body that does not work.  My injury hurt the left side of my head and body.  It left me paralyzed on the left side of my body and also left me blind in my left eye and deaf in my left ear.  It also represents the regret I feel not being able to live with my family and having to live in a place that helps people with brain injuries.  The red side of my mask is how angry I get because this happened to me.  The black is more sadness and the red is more anger.
