Brief Synopsis:
Jerome was the junior varsity star athlete on his school's football team,
he was called Velcro hands, but that was until the day he had his accident.
See how Jerome can learn to be himself, learn to be the new him and recover
from a traumatic brain injury.
Long Synopsis:
Jerome pedaled down the mountain, his friends Tommy and Eric racing to
catch up. The wide, flat path was made for smooth riding, but Jerome's mind
wasn't on the trail. A sudden rustling in the brush ahead startled him out
of his daydreaming. A dog darted out of the shrubs, then stopped dead in the
trail. The next several seconds seemed to pass in slow motion. Jerome
squeezed hard on the hand brakes, but it was too late. His front wheel
collided with the animal; the dog yelped; and Jerome somersaulted over his
handlebars. Tommy said later he would never forget how his friend flew
through the air and collided head-on with the sycamore tree. Eric said he'd
never forget the sickening thud the impact made. But what his friends would
never forget, Jerome would never remember. In a brilliant white flash,
Jerome's life as he knew it was gone. What do bikes, cars, scooters, sports,
tumors, strokes, guns, and the shaking of babies all have in common? They
all can cause brain injuries. Every twenty-one seconds, one person in the
United States sustains a traumatic brain injury. In The Journey Toward
Recovery: Youth with Brain Injury you will read about Jerome, one teen who
finds his life changed forever in a split-second accident. Along the way,
you will also learn about other forms of brain injury; how these injuries
affect people's lives; and how schools, doctors, and lawmakers are helping
youth with this form of special need.

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases
where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease,
with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting
the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities
of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics
(1887-1985)
