So I'm gonna make this my final recording for
this morning as you already know There's the
thoughts if it were you. This is this channel
by neogen tricks. I'm not gonna sugarcoat nothing
I'm not gonna cut it back and As you already
know, I'm I'm gonna be I'm gonna be me. I'm gonna
just Speak what I know and give you the facts.
Just the truth straight up like I said If it
were you If it were you how how would you feel,
you know? Let me give you a little backstory
on me so you can understand me a little better
Born in 1993 I'm 24 years old now this year.
I'll be 25 doesn't really matter. I'm sorry if
that means absolutely nothing to you but When
I was two Didn't even I haven't even lived that
long back when I was two my family gets into
a car wreck My dad's driving this truck with
all four of us in there my mom my two brothers
they're barely like a couple months old and it's
uh one of those 1900 chevy suburbans now consider
this if you were in my shoes all right we're
leaving church i guess against church like to
be honest i don't remember where we were leaving
from and i have a pretty vivid memory this guy
is coming out of nowhere speeding really fast
my dad sees him if the guy as my dad was coming
out hit the side of the truck where my mom was
she'd been hospitalized and my brothers would
have been killed so to prevent this from happening
being the kind of dad my dad was okay he turned
the truck in a way where he would take the brunt
of the impact and it got hit and when the truck
when the other vehicle collided with our truck
the truck flipped of course a couple of a couple
of times but The thing that was unusual was that
the my car seat it came undone and as the truck
was flipping my car seat and me went out the
window with it. I suffered multiple injuries
and a couple of broken bones to my knowledge
in that car wreck along with a head injury. Seven
scars on my body show proof of this incident.
My mom said that on the way To the hospital from
that incident. It was raining really hard and
I was on they used a lifelike the helicopter
service here in Texas I don't know what they
have in any other state. I've only lived here
in one other state. That'd be Georgia That's
not even that important. But still They said
that on that plane I mean on that helicopter
that my heart stopped Twice they had a hard time
trying to get it to start back up and it was
raining really really bad All along all this
entire time. My mom is praying While the doctors
and people I'm sorry the nurses on the helicopter
were trying to get my heart started And they
told her that they couldn't get it started. They
would have to land and I would have to go the
rest of the way in an ambulance But my mom being
the type of praying woman she is and I appreciate
her for this both her and my dad They were able
to stay landed the helicopter the rain lightened
up and they were able to start my heart Back
up and we were able to make it to the hospital
in time Not only did I recover from that instance
where the doctors said that because of the brain
injury I would be a vegetable for the rest of
my life But the only one who could have given
me a blood transfusion because my mom though
She loved me and did not want to let me go being
her first time My dad was the only one who could
actually do it So both of my parents are the
reason why I'm still here and the God that is
standing above us in heaven Now this station
isn't about religious facts, and I'm not gonna
focus on that But consider this fact, like I
said, if you were me, how would you feel? If
you recovered from this incident, they found
a brain tumor in your head after they sent you
home and said you'd be okay. And they had to
remove it, but in the process of removing it,
your left hand became slightly disabled. And
as a result, here, 20 something years later,
what have you, you're trying to work, you're
trying to do the best that you can, but because
you can't work as fast as everyone, you can't
do what everyone else can do. They put you in
a corner. The people don't want to have nothing
to do. They don't want to help you They fuss
at you because you can't do everything the way
everyone else can but you try to do it in your
own way And they treat you like trash Yes, I'm
handicapped slightly, but you think that's gonna
stop me But what would you do if you were in
my situation I didn't back down would you and
sit behind a door behind a sign that says I'm
handicapped I can't work for myself. Help me
Which one are you?
