A Positive & Inspirational Story I want to share through Public Speaking!!! Hello my name is Michael H. Wilson (Mookie) and I survived a horrible accident in 2009 on the Massachusetts Turnpike that changed my life forever. The purpose of this website is to share my story of overcoming that tragedy and how my family and friends helped me stay positive to do it. I would like to help inspire and motivate people through my story and how the "Power of a Positive Attitude & Thinking" helped me through my adversities. We were told as children, and we tell the children of today, that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it. Well the same applies to all of us. Let me help show you how. My goal is to help others overcome their own personal adversities. The events of September, 12'th 2009 changed my life forever; now I'd like to help change yours. As a result of my accident, I lost my left ear, lost significant function of my right hand and have a decreased sense of smell, taste, and hearing. I have had over 13 surgeries in 2 short years, including multiple skin grafts and some very risky and experimental procedures. I miraculously never had one infection or setback. I have made it through each one with flying colors and not just because of my great doctors but because I have had such a positive attitude through it all. I truly feel that with the right attitude and support nothing is unattainable or insurmountable.
