My Story
In August of 2015, I suffered a spinal cord injury, caused by a diving accident that resulted in a complete injury of my C5 spinal vertebrae. After my injury, I feared that I would not have the same experiences as other young adults. However I didn’t give up. Through faith and sheer willpower, I was able to finish high school and then finish college in 2022. Even though my life is more difficult than others, my journey has only begun.
