I'm a 21­year­old boy，and this is my story.

A month after I graduated from high school in 2004，I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I died eight times during my coma and I couldn't talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body，my dreams were shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.

After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions，I had to learn how to talk，eat，walk，shower，and live independently again. When I was out of hospital，I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in Waldorf，Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair，I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again，but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk，but run. When it came true，I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests，I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training，I began my freshman year at St. Mary's College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story，I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed，I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow，things would work out for the best.
