Bouncing Back (Unabridged‪)‬

Ever feel like life is kicking you while you're down? That there's no light at the end of the tunnel, and you want to give up hoping? 

My inspirational story is about achieving success in baseball and undergoing life-threatening brain surgery on a small, benign tumor the last nine years of my life. From learning to walk again, becoming a youth leader and youth coach in my church, and getting a 4.0 GPA after a year in college, to becoming a scoutmaster. 

Medical professionals explained to me that my surgery would be smooth, and all would go well. To my surprise, I woke up in the ICU with tubes coming out of me, double vision, and an inability to walk. 

This story is one of hope and proves that anything is possible no matter who tells you that you can't do it!
