Simply Amazing

Everything happens for a reason. So overdone. Yet so true.

Met Chad yesterday, officially. Last semester, while talking to some chem buddies in the hallway, some strange guy decided to interject his two cents in our conversation. Not rude, but just strange. I remember wondering if he was slow, he talked louder than necessary, and was a little difficult to understand. The exchange lasted a total of five minutes, if that.

Fast foward to yesterday. While sitting in the hall waiting for class to begin, this same strange guy from last semester approached me and said he remembered talking to me back then. After chatting for fifteen minutes with him, I was beyond inspired.

When he was a senior in high school he suffered a major brain injury after crashing his four wheeler. He wasn't wearing a helmet. After coming out of his coma and intense therapy, he ended up graduating with his senior classmates. He attended CVTC and received an associates degree, got a job that he wasn't passionate about, and now is back in school for the PTA program. Simply amazing. I can't even begin to imagine what he had to endure to get to where he is now.
When caught up in the whirlwhind of stress, I plan on thinking of Chad and all that he has overcome.

I do believe that I met Chad for a reason.
