I was always trying different things my favorite was riding my bike like most young boys, the difference was that I was a bit of a daredevil the faster I went the happier I was. As I got older I graduated up to racing bikes go carts and motorcycles many times I would fall and crush but I would get up brush myself off and start again. Then it happened, I wasn’t lucky. When I was 18 years old I was hit while riding my motorcycle, this time I didn’t get up. I arrived at the hospital where I was pronounced dead. The doctors brought me back to life. I was in a coma and on a respirator for many months my parents were told if I came out of this I would be a vegetable. I woke up and felt I was reborn. I had many surgeries as a result of all my injuries and every day I look at my scars. They are a reminder of the pain I went through and still go through in my life.
My doctors, family and friends have encouraged me to tell my story they say “I am a walking miracle and that I have nine lives”. The first book I wrote was dedicated to my father who taught me how to survive. Now I want to tell my story on how I am a survivor.view less
