opportunities. My transition from middle to high school was a difficult and intense period of growth in my life. As I reflect on the experience, I remember making several important decisions for embracing this transition. I assessed the situation to determine my expectations for my life, my best interest and my approach to this transition to meet my personal and academic goals. This transition was difficult primarily because I was in a new environment which posed personal and academic challenges. I embraced
scientist have been able to identify some of the main stages of the human life. Some of the major stages include infancy and childhood, adolescence, young adult, middle adult, and older adult stages.

Every brain injury is different, but most who suffer from a traumatic brain injury remember life before their brain injury.
