When I first realized the extent of my memory loss after surgery, I was devastated. One day, I found myself standing in the middle of the kitchen, completely at a loss as to why I was there. It felt like the world was playing a cruel joke on me, and the frustration was overwhelming.

But instead of giving in to despair, I decided to find a way to adapt. I started keeping a small notebook in my pocket to jot down important tasks and moments throughout the day. It wasn't easy at first—I would often forget to write things down or misplace the notebook. But gradually, it became a part of my routine.

One particular moment stands out to me: I was at the grocery store, staring blankly at the shelves, unable to remember what I needed. I pulled out my notebook and saw the list I had made earlier. The relief and sense of accomplishment I felt in that moment were indescribable. It was a small victory, but it symbolized so much more. It showed me that with persistence and a few adjustments, I could navigate this new reality.

Every day since then has been a journey of resilience and hope. I want to share my experiences and the strategies I've learned in my book, "50 First Episodes," to help others facing similar challenges. Together, we can overcome the obstacles and embrace a life filled with possibilities.

After graduating from High School, I got accepted into my dream college, Texas A&M University. It was as if my dreams of going to The Texas A&M was coming to light.

When I got to College Station, I found a job working at the Producers Co-op and everything was going great! I was excelling in all my classes, working out all the time and having fun with friends. Then, everything changed.

Suddenly, I was tired all of the time. Then I started missing my classes. Next thing I knew I was failing my classes and it seemed as if everything I had worked for the past four years were getting thrown down the drain and I had no idea why this happening to me.

What was happening to me? Simply put, God was setting the way for me to reach my full potential. He created my biggest setback for my greatest come back!

The whole time, He was still in control!
