17 years old when my life turned upside down

I was 17 years old when my life turned upside down...it changed forever....before that I was healthy, happy, athletic and on my way to big things.I feel like my life ended before it really even started.I had big dreams.I wanted to study abroad in Italy but of course that couldnt happen being in and out of the hospital due to a brain injury/ brain lesions.Its sad because unfortunately this is my reality but I'm trying my best to make my life better by volunteering to help people with parkinsons in kickboxing plus I also take the class and since I have a love for animals ,I also volunteer at an animal shelter.I am now 28 years old and I'm very sad because my life should DEFINETLY NOT be what it is today soo in return I'm angry, dissapointed in myself for not reaching any of my goals including having a college degreethat I always wanted.I do have some form of education because I was able to excell in my vet assistanting class and receive my certification to become a vet assistant but to me since I'm a perfectionist it isnt enough to satisfy me! I'm looking for friends and someone who can relate to me soo if you read this and seem interested in my story and would like to talk please respond!!thanks ttys
