People who are very active, either in sports or from uncontrollable incidents can have a heck of a time in their recovery process.
At 14 years old, I fell off the front of a rolling car
after trying to grab the windshield wiper in sliding off. I fell off , and remember a horrible headache , and woke up a week later.
My GPA went down an entire point percentage, from A and B grades to B and C grades.
It made my high school years just a little harder to complete. As a young person, my photogenic memory became a majority process of my learning skills. Funny thing is I didn't know I processed my learning skills differently . I could remember a page or several different books of pages like a photograph blink. Remembering what I read but maybe not the exact page.
People I would meet became literally frozen in time, as they were in that particular moment.
I honestly didn't know I was different in that process.
People meeting you is awesome until it becomes personal interactions in the millions of faces over many years and decades!
In recovering your whole functioning brain after a concussion, requires some special kind of skills!
As I spent time thinking about all the things I had learned over the years, I realized that if I could get my brain to work orderly in function, I could actually make it to college.
I decided to try something completely unheard of.
I added dry DHEA formula to my coffee every morning and in my breakfast. then would listen to classical music that stimulates your brain, and began with plain notebook paper, getting my hands, both hands, to write the opposite way of what I usually wrote . With both hands into the middle of the page.
Sometimes I added the languages I had learned to speak during my years. Like Spanish words and phrases, and also practing ASL letters.
After doing this for 6 months, my function became so much better! It helped my brain reconnect the missing neurons and information!
Although my math scores still have trouble with Algebraic sentences, other maths are easy.
Theoretical physics is a visual process I can understand through video, although I cannot write a Trigonometry sentence!
The amazing potential of our brains to heal through accessing the other 85% of our brains through this process is incredible, and I am sharing this information because I am, and always was smart, just a few lumps to work around.
I am more skilled than just a maid! and blessed every day to have been led into contact with people at NASA and it thrills yet humbles me every day!

Please parents! Let your children wear a helmet when playing sports! You have no idea how important they are for the rest of their lives!
As an additional note you cannot call me incompetent, if I can figure out how to make a cloud in the sky , I am certainly not incompetent; (just a little weird and you can't stop me! )
