T.H.E. “My Warrior Life” Young Senior Warrior
“I am a 17 year old Senior at Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga CA. I am a student, daughter AND a young warrior woman. At the age of 12 I lost my mother to cancer; yet it is because of my resilience that I have made it thus far. I choose to live life as a free spirit and I’m just beginning my journey as a wonder woman.”

A little about Jasmine…
So it’s my Senior year and honestly it hasn’t been going as planned. Whoever said that Senior year is supposed to be the easiest and the best part of high school lied. It’s not like school is horrible or anything, there is just always something going on. I have to balance my school work with my study schedule, my study schedule with my social life, make time to fill out college applications, and I also have to squeeze in time for the necessities like eating and sleeping. And I know that sometimes life is like that, you have to hustle and work hard for what you want to achieve. But I think the most important and most difficult part of my Senior year and life in general is making time to take care of yourself. Reminding yourself to step back and re-evaluate certain aspects of your life and cut out the things that aren’t necessities, so that you can free up some space for self care and self love. I recently deceided that it was best for me to give up twitter during the week, to gove me the time to read a new book that I’ve been wanting to read, take a relaxing bath, or go see a movie.
And this is only month three of my Senior year, stay tuned for updates as the journey continues. C/O 2018

I am a Wonder Warrior Woman. This is the story of my life as a woman in her mid 30s living with a tramatic brain injury. I’ve overcome a whole lot & have been able to continue on with my life because I am a warrior. I obtained the tramatic brain injury at 30 years of age. I was in a horific motorcycle accident as I was returning from Las Vegas as a passenger. I thankfully have been able to continue on with my life. I am considered by many a miracle. So in a lot of respects I am a warrior. My strength & perserverance has been guiding me through life. I think my history and everything I’ve gone through has helped guide me through my ongoing recovery. They say things happen for a reason & the reason maybe unknown.
One month before the motorcycle accident
In my case I think God allowed the accident to happen so that I would turn to him. It took me about 2 years since the accident but I definitely have turned to him & thanked him for all he has done in my life.Since then he has blessed me. I am still able to function. My greatest impairment is my memory. Which I have learned to cope with by writing everything down. At the age of 36 I became pregnant & was able to bring a child into the world. I view her as the true miracle. I have prayed for my ongoing recovery & am so grateful that the warrior in me has pushed through & made a lot happen. Like I said, God had a plan & the accident was apart of it so I can stay home with my miracle. So even though the accident was horrific, I thank God for my 2nd chance at life & I’m hoping to fulfill his plan for my life & will continue to praise Him.
Stay Tuned…
