As Kennedy crumpled in her hospital bed
following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After
the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said, “For
years, I allowed someone I loved physically, mentally, and emotionally, abuse
me.”
She
had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but she was immature and not
ready for the academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident she
returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and
began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident,
she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.
