Hello, everyone! ❤
I come to you today after a lovely meeting that I just had with some professionals who are doing research on head trauma.
I know that it might not be appropriate to use ‘stage talk’ in this situation, but I think that this could be my ‘big break’!
I might be able to get some attention to my blog, which will lead to attention to my book, which will make it possible for me to help people who have had a similar experience to my own.
What am I talking about?
Oh, nothing , really. :p
I just had a meeting that might possibly (by a longshot) change my life for the better. I might get involved with medical professionals who could save lives. I mean, my story is nothing short of a miracle, so why shouldn’t I try to bring good into the lives of others?
Honestly, I believe that my taking part in surveys and research projects like this could possibly lead to the benefit of many others! ❤
My story and insistence on surviving, despite all speculations, might inspire hope in the lives of others who know someone that has recently been in a traumatic experience! ❤
It’s crazy, when I was going through recovery from my Traumatic Brain Injury, I never thought that my experience would be of any value to anyone at any point in time, but I look back on it now and I can realize why someone with a child going through recovery from TBI, or someone actually going through it themselves, would want to see that they are not alone, someone else understands and has felt as helpless as they have felt or do feel.
This might make it possible for my book to be published. This opportunity might open some doors to me for other opportunities later in my life. The connections that I am making might just be the ones that end up being golden references for a prospective employer after I finish this seemingly endless race of higher education. If, that is, I don’t rely on my book for income after I actually get to publishing it.
I am so thankful that I took initiative in contacting this professor after I saw an article about his research program about head injuries. I am so happy that I took initiative in connecting with someone who might understand more of where I have come From, which is Deep Within a Traumatic Brain Injury, to where I am now, searching for the perfect catalyst to help others.
All that I need now is to continue to study hard and try even harder than ever before to do well in school. But, to be honest with myself, I am doing so much better than ANY doctor had EVER imagined that I might do, so to myself, I am already a success. My mother, of course, is pushing me to do better and excel at all of my classes. She just wants the best for me, and she always has, and I am ever thankful of her ceaseless love. In my own mind, I have already done all of the things that I had hoped to do in my youthful, unaware, mind. I have already conquered the world. I have just a few more classes to take and then I can just relax and write my book.
That is what I will do when I finish college. I will take a step back from the rush and the prodding of American (the world’s)society and write my book. Then I will travel for a few months. Maybe France, maybe Ireland, perhaps Australia or Greece. Who knows?
I think that as I get closer to that blissful and lovely time of my life, I will decide on where I want to travel after I’m published. I have at least one year until I can do that. Maybe two? Maybe three? I would like to pay off my college debt before I go gallivanting across the Earth. :p Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. I’ll pay off my debts and then I’ll travel the world. 🙂 ❤
Maybe I will even get to learn some more languages while I travel! Oh! Wouldn’t that just be delightful! ❤ I’m sure that I have written about my desire for cultures and languages other than my own before, but I will list them all again, just for fun. ❤
I want to learn Aramaic most of all languages, because I feel that speaking the same language as Jesus is the best way to get close to Him in my heart. I would like to learn Latin, I would love to learn Hindi, Spanish, German, Arabic, Celtic (Irish), maybe even Mandarin at some point, I mostly wish to learn languages (not all but most) within the first 20 or so of the languages on Wikipedia’s list of the world’s most popular languages.
Other than languages and travels, I just want to write my book, read other books and sleep after college. 🙂
On that note, I think that I will call this post ‘over’.
God Bless all who have wadded through this ridiculously long post. :p
God Bless everyone else, too! ❤
