For the past thirty five years of my life I began to realize that the efforts of living a peaceful and thankful life is all about forgiveness.

Before the age of ten years old, I suffered to playground head injuries. The second head injury was more devastating than the first. With the recent influx of concussion injuries in contact sports primarily football injuries, has given more awareness to the long term effects of concussions. In time I have learned to deal with these occurances. I was bonbarded with negativity from my own family that I would have difficulties in just graduating from high school. With time, patience, focus and dedication, I earned a partial scholarship in track and field to Ohio University. I felt that I was able to overcome any obstacle that was ahead of me. During my junior year in college on our Easter break, I did a favor for a friend who wanted to be with his family during the break. I borrowed a friends car for the day for the trip. On the way back to school I fell asleep while driving. The car was totaled, but for some miraacle reason I was able to walk away from the incident without a scratch. Four years after my first accident I was involved in another accident also during Easter Sunday. From the, information that I have read about post traumatic stress disorders, I have found life to be quite difficult to move into a professional career when I constantly experience flashbacks that I didnt realize that I experience. In two thousand and one while playing basketball with friends, I suffered a serious knee injury (ruptured patella tendon, fracture knee cap)which hinders my ability to be the person I have always set out to be. In two thousand and five, I moved to Orlando Florida to be closer to my family. Professionals use the term workaholics in the same sequence as someone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs. Hard work and effort usually pays off in the long run. In my case I have been fired from four jobs in the last six years. I have found this to be my most challenging situation outside of all the things in my past.
