Fortunately for me, I was welcomed with open arms; and what do you know, after 18 years, I’m still hanging out! I shudder to think what my life would look like without my involvement with KBIC, and thankfully, I don’t have to. All In know is that the community of members, staff, and interns have been my foundation for a “New Life After Brain Injury”.  

In all seriousness, it wasn’t really that type of nervousness that I felt. If anything, I felt a responsibility to communicate the amazing positive impact I had experienced from Occupational Therapy in my recovery and express my gratitude and admiration for their choosing the field.
