His story really shows that you can do anything you want and that your past doesn’t have to shape your future, but it can really help push you. That’s when the connection to my story had popped out at me. When I was really young, my mom always had to go to physical therapy for when she had broken her back. She would always take me with her, and even though I was really young and didn’t really understand what was actually going on, I remember watching a lot of the people making amazing recoveries, and that really stuck with me.

    Vernon Hill, a poverty-stricken neighborhood in Worcester, MA, with its abandoned, worn-down tenements, boarded windows, and graphite signs initially intimidated me.
