Client of the Month | NOV
| Posted on October 22, 2009 at 7:28 PM |
Our client of the month is working with Gary Siegel from Fitness Matters Gym, to become rehabilitated from his condition.
Ashoine Rouse is a 19-year-old student who is rehabilitating from an A.V.M (Arterio-Venous Malformation) of the brain and a stroke that resulted from the bleeding to his brain. Even though his daily livelihood is a personal challenge, he still engages in activities that were his favorites before this hardship. Playing video games, going out with his cousins to the movies and malls,and simple pleasures like walking around the neighborhood are just some of his favorites. Ashoine is also regaining his confidence socially now, that he is dating and participating in school functions. Later in the future, he plans to go to college for Game Development and Mathematics. Now, he's just taking life a day at a time and building the foundation to fulfill his goals and aspirations.
