| Angela's Award Nomination | ||||||||||
| Most of us didn't know this individual before a traumatic head injury forever altered her life.� We have only witnessed her grow as an individual from high school and beyond.� To fully grasp the vastness of this person?' accomplishments we must go back to the day when at age six she was struck by an automobile.� As a result of her injuries, she spent 10 weeks in a coma, several weeks on life support, and 6 months in a hospital.� She had to learn to do everything once again?things we often take for granted...such as sitting up, swallowing, walking, and talking.� She has had to overcome numerous obstacles physically, emotionally, academically, and socially.� Her speech was affected most by the head injury and became worse after brain surgery.� Because it is difficult for some people to understand her, she has turned to writing and found that she has a talent for it. She expresses her feelings and thoughts through poetry.� Her poems have been published in two different coffee table poetry books.� She also has her own book of poetry published.� Currently she works part time at Ann's Florist.� The Class of 1992 is very honored to know her and at this time we would like to recognize Miss Angela Brand for her accomplishments.� | ||||||||||

| My Reunion BY Angela Brand, 2002 I just went to my tenth year reunion, and I had a blast, I saw so many familiar faces, from the past. It was such a wonderful night, being with all my friends, and it just felt so right, I hated to see it come to an end. I won an award, and I was so touched, to think that all my classmates, thought I deserved it so much. When the night was over, I wished time could have stood still, because nobody will ever know, how that night made me feel. |
