Perspective

"Newswise — A machete attack at his Belize hut nearly ended all prospects of a nursing career before it could begin for Owen Smith, a master's student at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.
The wounds the Peace Corps volunteer suffered — a lost ear, damaged shoulder, severed finger, injured neck, and facial deformities — were terrifying, he admits. But the blade never touched his spirit."

A great story involving a former high school teammate of mine. Some of you may remember Owen Smith working behind the front desk at the indoor track. At the time he was called "Sunshine", due to his long blonde hair that resembled Ronnie Bass from Remember the Titans.
