CRASHING INTO POTENTIAL
Have you crashed into your potential? My name is Scott B Harris and I am the author of the book, CRASGING INTO POTENTIAL: Living with my injured brain. At the ripe old age of 23, I came face to face with adversity, when I crashed my KTM 450 dirtbike into a mate. This left me with lasting injuries including severe brain damage, paralysis, and the use of only one arm. This was the start of my new life. Since that fateful day, I have been clawing my way back into a society that accepts me for who I am and not for who I WAS (and by "Society", I mean myself. I had to learn how to accept MYSELF in my new life with all my imperfections). Come with me and learn how to be resilient in the face of adversity and crash into your own potential.
