Brain Injury: I was in a car accident when I was 6 years old. I was with my grandmother and my sister.  At the hospital, they found a brain tumor.

Explanation of Mask: It has my four favorite colors on it. They make me happy. They remind me of the colors in the bible: red for blood, purple for royalty, I can’t remember the others. I’m creative with art and writing. I get a lot of ideas in my head. It’s fun. Sometimes I feel like I’m very unique, but I think we are all unique. Being around certain people makes me nervous. I’ve really had to be strong, because of all of my life’s experiences.
