City:  Raeford

Brain Injury: TBI- blunt force trauma.  SDH Evaluation with craniotomy.

Explanation of Mask: My ex-boyfriend and I got into a fight and I ended up getting hurt really bad.  I can’t remember what happened.  My brain injury is difficult.  It has me thinking about life and things I used to do.  The girl on the mask reminds me of me.  Blue is my favorite color.  The shoe represents the steps I am taking.  This brain injury has affected my motor skills and train of thought.  It’s hard to put thoughts together with my words.  It has made me realize how important my family is.  I can see now things are different and how this has affected everybody.
