I went to start writing this post so I put some music on. It could not have been a more fitting song to come up when I pressed shuffle. Playing right now is the song “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz. The song I was listening to when I crashed my car and when I listen to it […]
I WATCHED A GIRL STARE DEATH IN THE FACE AND SHE CHOSE LIFE
My schedule was open for April. No speeches and just some sporadic meetings. I had no idea how I was going to spend all that free time. At all of my speeches I urge students to reach out to me for help if they need it. It’s not something that I charge for. The reward […]
The Love That I Can Offer You

Why I Did Not Turn in That One-Page Resume
When I got my degree this is what I heard, “you just got your degree that you worked so hard for, why don’t you get a civil engineering job?” I could not have cared less about what it said on my diploma. Of course it felt like an incredible feat, but more importantly than that it […]

What am I fighting for? At first it was a battle against myself. A battle against my mind. My inner voice was telling me that it was over. Then I started to hear whispers telling me that this life wasn’t finished. That whisper grew louder and eventually it took over that inner voice that was […]
I’d like to take a moment to thank Jess for giving me this opportunity to speak outside of the country for the first time to share my story. I will be signing copies of “Well… I Guess I’m Not Jesus (hey-Zeus)” in the back immediately after my speech. Of course I’m just messing around. Today is not […]

With what I have left… Would you think that it would be less than before? Obviously, physically, things are different. From the chest down it’s just dead weight. I have a hand that has been all but forgotten. Although this one working hand is a blessing that I can’t forget to count. Physically I’m obviously […]
