The story of my life

My story begins in September 1989 with a Big Bang. I got hit by a car while I was on holiday in France.
Apart from other injuries my had was broken and my left leg was crunched. I was 4 weeks in a comma in a French hospital before the Swiss emergency crew could get me back in a jet. Back in Switzerland I did slowly wake up. There I was, no memory, couldn’t talk, walk, eat, remember, … And I was only 18 years old at the time. Is this my destiny? No, for sure not. This was the start for my 2nd live.

I was one year in all different hospitals in Switzerland and had lots of operations to my head, eye, neck, leg …But I learned slowly to speak again. I started with mmaammaa and laallaa, but it worked. I was in a wheelchair for 6 months, then on “sticks” for 8 months until I could walk again. For my memory I went to a children hospital because they had an internal school. All the staff was still in my head but I had to unlock it. During this time I started smoking  But I quit again in 2006 from one day to another. Never smoked since.

One year after my accident, still in medical care, I started my bachelor degree in business. During my studies I had to go a lot to the hospital. But after all I did it in three years. My health was good and I had a diploma.

Now 24 years later I can look back and I am proud of what I’ve done. Today I am a Unix engineer in banks and I am fit.
I wrote this as an inspiration for other who struggle in life. When you fall, get up again and again and again. Every change is a long process and needs determination. Set a goal you can reach. Once you’ve done it, set your next goal. This process should never end and makes life exciting. Nothing is better the reaching a goal. It makes you proud. Am I proud? Hell yes, I accomplished a lot !

Sorry about the spelling errors but nobody is perfect!!!
