City: Chattanooga

Brain Injury: Ten years ago, I was stabbed in the temple at a fraternity party.

Explanation of Mask: I was a business and Spanish major in Alabama before the accident.  I have had trouble with drinking and am in AA.  The broken heart represents that my heart was broken from my injury because I haven’t been able to do everything I want to.  The pictures of mountains and the horse represent my love of the outdoors and working with horses.  Before my accident I worked at Yellowstone one summer on horseback.   SPEECH is over my mouth because I have Aphasia which makes reading, writing and speech difficult. My family has always been supportive of me and helped me through my struggles.
