To a life of wonderful achievement and fulfilled joy. Let's hope it stays that way and everyone can live a beautiful and happy life. I was born on May 29, 1990. The beginning of a new era. Unlike most babies born healthy weighing 6 pounds or more, I wasn't so lucky. When I was born at 5:02pm I arrived weighing 4lbs 1oz. For the next two months I spent my life in a little plastic box because my heart and other things had not fully developed. This is what I was told. I assume my life from ages 1 to 4 was good because I don't remember anything about that part of childhood. However, I remember that the first time I started kindergarten I had a lot of problems doing my homework and listing it for the teacher. Well, after some tests at the doctor, it turns out that I was born with severe hearing loss. At that time the technology was not as good as it is today. Hearing aids at that time were so big that it felt like wearing a cap over your ear that weighed like a brick. Through Kintergardgen until the fourth grade I was constantly teased. It gets even worse as soon as I get to fifth grade. As technology has advanced and new audible ads have come out, the new one I got had an antenna sticking out. This was even more embarrassing and more obvious. Once again I counted on being made fun of. As soon as I started high school my life changed, except I thought it did. I must say that I am lucky to have loving parents and not worry about money. I ate g every night and had a roof over my head. My freshman year I made the baseball team and we won first in the state that year. My second year there I went to college as a sophomore, which was really cool because the driving in Athens was always......middle of paper......then shoots across the median hitting a front-on 'other car. It was as if I saw the accident in slow motion. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The incidents you see in the movies don't do this justice because you knew it was real, there were real people involved there. Someone was injured. We all stopped and took off running towards the car that was closest to us. That was our friend, somehow he was still awake, he was in shock about what had happened. He was bleeding quite a bit from the facial area. The only way to get him out was through the passenger side, because his door was jammed. Then we started running towards the other vehicle, which consisted of two people in their late 30s, both noncouncians. We had to break the roof of the car to get them both out, as both doors were blocked. It was almost as if something had happened in my dream.
