We would
like to welcome a new member to The Denbigh House. Our newest member is Shawn
Grayson and he is a twenty-three year old male who was born in Jefferson Parrish,
Louisiana. Shawn’s hobbies include embroidery, fishing, and gardening. He is
not really sure of his favorite color, but he said, “I do like red a lot.” His
favorite food is rabbit. Shawn told us that he likes to play sports, but doesn’t
care for watching them too much, but his favorite sports team is the Saints. He
was then asked about the type of music he likes and he replied, ”A little bit
of everything, but if I had to pick, I’d say country”. Shawn likes to watch
educational television, so, that says he likes to learn about different topics.
Shawn was asked who inspires or motivates him the most and he replied his dad
does.
Before Shawn’s
injury, he repaired woodwork for people and did small construction jobs. Shawn
received his brain injury from being hit in the head by another human being. In
ten years, Shawn said that he sees himself working a normal job and life, one
that works a regular nine to five job, not living on social security. He
decided to become a member of The Denbigh House because of his loss of memory
and to relearn simple tasks. In his free time, Shawn studies for his GED, so he
can pass it. The way his brain injury has changed his life by getting away from
his “ex” and he is now living with his family again.
Again Shawn
Grayson, welcome to The Denbigh House!
