On March 16th, 1983 I got hit by a car. I was running across the street. I didn’t look across the street. And I got hit. My brother sat down beside me. The car backed up and my brother ran across the street. My brother said to my grandmother that Damian got hit by a car. She called the ambulance. She called my mother and she came home. The ambulance got there in an hour. The doctor said to my mother, “At 24 hours your son would be dead”. My mother said to the doctor, “I want Damian to go to Halifax right away”. They did. In Halifax my doctor said to my mother, “If Damian lives he will be a vegetable”. See me now! I Can walk and talk. I am not a vegetable.

If I won the lottery, I would like to think that my life wouldn’t change but in reality I know it would. Winning the lottery would probably be very exciting but would come with a price. I would expect that if I won the lottery, the phone would ring nonstop with people looking for assistance with their debts. I’m sure I would help a lot of people, family, friends, and organizations I am interested in. I know my lifestyle would change by I would not want to change who I am. I really don’t think I have to much to worry about because I’ve had no luck so far and if I don’t, I’m content with what I have.
