Brain Injury: My first injury, I was run over by a semi.  My second injury I was working on freight docks, and I was riding a bike and missed a turn and the truck didn’t see me.

Explanation of Mask: The red is fear sometimes and sometimes mad.  Native Americans are like that.  My nature side came from my dad.  The pink lips are because my dad was a heavy drinker. The black around head is because Native Americans have black hair.  My mom did most of the raising.  When I think about my brain injury, I think I mad a big booboo and I was dumb enough to do it twice – but I wasn’t drinking because I was with my kids.  Because of my injury, I give more respect to other people.
