Having the concussion taught me that when I am injured through a sport or some physical activity, I need time off. I learned this the hard way because when I got my concussion, I did not go home

although struggling at the time, found a way to put her child in the best possible route in education.

yourself forward. You rest your hands on the soft, rubber handlebars on the bike to keep your balance and steer the bike. Then, you feel the breezy wind blow past your face. But I learned the hard way, that pretending to fly on a bike doesn't work out how I would've hoped it would. Eventually you'll hit the ground hard. Literally.

As I cautiously make my way down the corridor on my first day of school I hear a strange noise escaping one of the rooms. Although it sounds like a jumbled mess of instruments I am intrigued, it is the band room and I know I’ll be entering there soon.
