Louisiana
City: Covington
Brain Injury: I was beaten and robbed in 2005.
Explanation of Mask: The black eye on my mask represents the fact that I lost my right eye as a result of my injury. The white above my eyes show that I have no memory and a lot of cognitive issues and confusion. My injury has been the worst thing that has ever happened to me, so I want my mask to show my pain. The brown tear from my left eye means that I am tired and aggravated but the tiny sparkle shows that I have learned that I have to continue on. My mask also shows that I appreciate the staff who have helped me but I am also ready to move on. I want people to know that I struggle everyday but I work hard.
