So here's a little bit about me: When I was 18 I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed from the neck down. I consider myself very lucky to be alive. I also believe tthat God had a reson for saving me that night, he knew my journey was just beginning! Yes, I've endured alot but the knowledge I've gained far exceeds anything I knew before. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone else in the world. I've learned alot since the 8 yrs after my accident and one of the most important things I've learned is to not be defined as just a girl in a wheelchair. And I'm not. I'm a fun loving, charismatic, loving, and trustworthy lady who just happens to be in a chair, that's all! I have a Bachelor's of Science degree from Southern Christian University. I majored in Human Development and I eventually want to earn a Masters degree in Counseling. My goal is to become a child or family counseler and help those who need it the most.

My Interests

I have 3 passions in life; Atlanta Braves Baseball, Auburn Football, and most important Jesus Christ. Growing up with brothers pretty much guaranteed I would be a sports fan, and I love every second of it. I don't miss a Braves game and I'm not acustomed to them losing but hey, they're playing their hearts out and you can't ask for anything more!If you live in Alabama you're either an Auburn fan or an Alabama fan. If you like to win you're an Auburn fan if you like to watch your quarterback get sacked 11 times in 1 game you an Alabama fan. Watching a game from Jordan-Hare Stadium is a must! There's nothing like watching Tiger soar from the top of the stadium. WAR EAGLE!!"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil 4:13) This is Scripture that I live my life by. It is because of Christ's love that I am here today, he loved me enough to die for me and I will not let him down by giving up. I know I have a purpose in life and I intend to fulfill the Lord's dream for me!
