Thank you COL Mikel J. Burroughs

I am not going to lie...trying to learn stuff after my TBI has been a challenge for sure. I mean there are a LOT of times that my wife and daughter have to tell me that we have been places. I just don't remember. The conversation usually goes something like...."We should go to this place and check it out." My wife and daughter..."We have done that. Several times." Me - ohhh did I like it? Now though I am 2 classes from my Bachelors degree...but it has been tough for sure...being here at ARC has been challenging in that fact. Life is tough though, just have to live it.

What a great article as usual COL Mikel J. Burroughs I might just share this with my professor to give him an insight into the obstacles I face going to school. I can't wait until they test me for TBI. I am answering questions right now to give then a history.
