I had bleeding to the brain and a concussion with minor amnesia before all this I was a straight-A student and honor roll. I had learned that a 4-year-old was killed whom I watched grow up as a little boy and his brother who was our friend were in a coma we were at the same hospital for a month, and the driver of our car got charged ultimately but the mother as well of the other vehicle due to being intoxicated while at the hospital I had to relearn to walk and after the hospital, I had to relearn a lot of things I was told my memory would be altered a bit and that I would be repetitive, I suffered from severe depression due to the passing of the little boy. Fast forward I ended up going home after a month and for a year had to get to an alternative school and relearn a lot of things ultimately my memory came back but to this day I have to repeat things to myself and take my time I feel like now I have a harder time understanding things and I keep pushing and trying, I got porcelain teeth and I had to endure a lot of surgeries which made my life not easy and how I always think of the 4-year-old an where of been right now and what would he have been doing he would of been about 24 right now so for me it's always hard to swallow what happened I sometimes questioned guy why he kept me and not him as he was still a baby and had more living to do.

I worked 10x harder to be able to get my Associate I felt good that I did not because of my small disability and now I am striving for my bachelor's and hope I can accomplish this even with trauma and my disability I do not let this stop me from being a positive role model to my kids. SNHU popped up when I was looking for single mother grants and I had a friend who had nothing but good things to say not to mention they had the curriculum I was searching for so I decided this was it for me, If awarded a scholarship this would not only mean I get my bachelors but I also get to finally find the career of my dreams after facing all these dead ends and I can be happy in life and feel secure within my self that I accomplished for what some look at as impossible.
