The Ron Clark Story . Summer 2016, A Time Where I Was At

The Ron Clark Story Summer 2016, a time where I was at my worst and in a hard place. I was in a terrible motorcycle accident that left me injured and feeling like I’d lost hope. This was the summer before I began my first semester in the blocks program. I was constantly debating on if I wanted to start the semester or if I should take a semester off to heal.
