City/State: Chattanooga

Brain Injury: When I was 29, I was a pedestrian struck by a SUV and left on the road.  I woke up in the hospital thinking I was 18.

Explanation of Mask: I want to do an explosive design because I’m exploding with happiness!  I think my old self died.  I can’t believe the stupid stuff I used to do.  Since my brain injury, I think about things ahead of time and of the consequences.  I’m actually pretty happy this happened to me.  I go to a lot of “groups” now, but I don’t see it as therapy-it’s fun.  I like to volunteer; just because I’m disabled doesn’t mean that I can’t do something and help others.
