Jesse's Story
Life
I should be dead. I was injured in a "car accident" and was in a coma for 3 days. The doctor told my family and friends that i would never wake up. That day my dad went to church for the first time in over 20 years and prayed that God take him instead of me. By the time he got back to the hospital I was awake and just as chipper as I ever had been. This accident happened 11-5-98 but no one was informed at the school when it happened because i was a trouble making student. On 10-28-00 i was awarded "Poet of the Year Honors" in Reno, Nevada. After high school i went off the deep end. got caught up in drugs and parties and getting into trouble. I lost touch with my parents around this same time. On 3-27-04 i got a dwi that changed my life. i was driving and...Expand for more
ended up going into the ditch off of 169 in elk river. I rolled my car 4 times. I was then brought to jail and so on. But when i went back to the scene of the accident to recover my belongings i saw a cross 15 yards away from where my wallet was lying. someone had died there from drunk driving. 15 yards difference and there would have been 2 crosses rather than one. I haven't touched drugs ever since. I'm currently going back to school at ARCC and in pursuit of a degree in Journalism. And my relationship with my family has never been better. Best wishes to everyone.
Military
I tried to join the military because i feel everyone should because it's their duty as a citizen. I was declined the opportunity to join because I have a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
