My name is A.S. Last year, September 2020, my mom and I were in a car accident; I received a whiplash injury that left me with a back injury; this happened just a few weeks into my first semester as a junior at CSULB. It took me by surprise and left a long road to healing. While in school, I had physical therapy and took different medications, which at times left me tired and at times unable to attend classes, to ease my searing pain; that made life not the best. I have been limited with my physicality on what I can and cannot do, limiting my finding work. At times this is upsetting and grueling, but regardless, I try my best to look forward and, though the healing process is taking time, know that I will be back to myself eventually. This will not hinder me and my education. I intend to finish my schooling and obtain my B.A. in English Creative Writing. I am sincerely thankful for The Orion Fund for helping me during this time. It means a great deal. Thank you, Orion Fund, for being there and helping not just myself but others who need assistance with disability and injuries.
