I've only lived here 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.039 in one other state. That'd be Georgia That's 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.900 not even that important. But still They said 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:46.419 that on that plane I mean on that helicopter 00:02:46.419 --> 00:02:52.080 that my heart stopped Twice they had a hard time 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.159 trying to get it to start back up and it was 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.270 raining really really bad All along all this 00:02:58.270 --> 00:03:01.490 entire time. My mom is praying While the doctors 00:03:01.490 --> 00:03:04.349 and people I'm sorry the nurses on the helicopter 00:03:04.349 --> 00:03:06.289 were trying to get my heart started And they 00:03:06.289 --> 00:03:08.889 told her that they couldn't get it started. They 00:03:08.889 --> 00:03:10.250 would have to land and I would have to go the 00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:14.430 rest of the way in an ambulance But my mom being 00:03:14.430 --> 00:03:16.770 the type of praying woman she is and I appreciate 00:03:16.770 --> 00:03:20.689 her for this both her and my dad They were able 00:03:20.689 --> 00:03:23.289 to stay landed the helicopter the rain lightened 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:26.259 up and they were able to start my heart Back 00:03:26.259 --> 00:03:28.400 up and we were able to make it to the hospital 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.419 in time Not only did I recover from that instance 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:34.159 where the doctors said that because of the brain 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.060 injury I would be a vegetable for the rest of 00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:37.939 my life But the only one who could have given 00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:39.500 me a blood transfusion because my mom though 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:41.460 She loved me and did not want to let me go being 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:43.939 her first time My dad was the only one who could 00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:46.680 actually do it So both of my parents are the 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.919 reason why I'm still here and the God that is 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.719 standing above us in heaven Now this station 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.360 isn't about religious facts, and I'm not gonna 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.879 focus on that But consider this fact, like I 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.740 said, if you were me, how would you feel?

And they had to 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.400 remove it, but in the process of removing it, 00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:11.360 your left hand became slightly disabled. And 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.360 as a result, here, 20 something years later, 00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:16.459 what have you, you're trying to work, you're 00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:18.319 trying to do the best that you can, but because 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.519 you can't work as fast as everyone, you can't 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.860 do what everyone else can do.
