Dr. Dawn Menge is joining me on this episode to share her personal experiense of being involved in a drunk driver accident, 40 years ago.
One of the questions I asked, was what she would do differently if she could, to avoid the accident that left her in traction and in a half body cast for months, and lifelong injuries, on her knees that stole her chance of being a voleeyball player.

 Her response?

She would listen to her instict and not go on that date when she was 16 years of age.

Dr. Dawn Menge has won forty-one International awards as the author of the Queen Vernita educational series. She holds a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction, a Master's Degree and a Clear Credential in moderate/severe disabilities, and a Bachelor's Degree in human development. Dr. Menge has been teaching severely handicapped students for nineteen years. She has three children and five beautiful grandchildren and lives in Southern California.

She has an interesting story to share of how her road accident occur, how she moved past it and how she beat the odds when she was told that she will not be able to have children.

A very cheerful person that will leave you with good feelings about life but also with important takeways like follow your instict if you don't feel safe, keep in mind that it only takes one split moment for something to happen. and that we recover, but the bitter feeling or trigger is still there.
