After a childhood with a severe neurological condition, and having not completed the ninth grade, Lora Morrow went on to graduate with her Bachelor of Science (magna cum luade)in Psychology and then her Master of Science (summa cum laude) in Health Psychology. She is presently only her thesis short of her Ph.D. (also at a summa cum laude level, so far).
Ms. Morrow has about 15 years experience in counseling, having begun as a peer counselor long before entering college. She has since lectured to police and fire departments and schools on handling special cases (epilepsy, schizophrenia, diabetes, etc.) and has written articles on related subjects. She was nominated by the Red Cross in 2000 as an American Hero. Her self-stated quest is to reach out to as many people as possible and help them to improve their lives.
Although she has many success stories, Ms. Morrow lists her most successful client as herself. In her mid-twenties, tests revealed her as having damage throughout 65% of her brain. Today, thorough testing has shown that damage virtually gone, and so are her seizures, several years removed now. Her clients further include (but are not limited to) the likes of an adolescent boy debilitated with severe schizophrenia, who today is about ready to graduate from college; a 36-year-old autistic man who had never spoken, whom she had speaking after 90 days of therapy; and a quadriplegic young man, who had been hit by a drunken driver, whom she had walking after a period of about two years. Ms. Morrow attributes her successes to her unique Positive Personal Modification Therapy.
Ms. Morrow presently Directs her Positive Personal Modification Institute and is Founder and Director of Fellowship of Recovering Epileptics, a (501)(c)(3) organization, for whom she publishes and edits their flagship newsletter, "The Cornerstone."

I would be depressed, but I can't find the time.
Get off your duff and get to work. You'll have plenty of time to rest when you die.
Perseverence is the only assurance we have that we can cash in on the promissory note known as "the future."
We can name every character on "Friends," but we can’t name the family who lives 2 doors down.
Learn to appreciate challenges as much as rewards because without challenges there are no real rewards.
