then how come he can’t do it?
at 27 doctors figured out that michelle mack had managed to live her life with half a brain. just 10 years ago, a doctor at the cognitive neuroscience section at the national institutes of health found through mri that she was missing almost all of the left side of her brain. she managed to finish high school, remember dates, and speak normally and so doctors deduced that michelle’s brain had rewired itself, “the remaining half took over some of the essential functions that are normally done by the left, such as speaking and reading.” she “has fairly normal language abilities, certainly basic language abilities, she can construct a sentence, she can understand instructions, she can find words when she’s talking, but actually she has some trouble in some aspects of visual-spatial processing.” while the road has been hard and long, mack “is now 37 and lives with her mother and father. she works from home doing data entry for her church. she is fairly independent, pays rent and can do most household chores.” she wanted people to know about her story so that people know that she’s not helpless.
who knows, maybe someday soon she can become a fashion designer or better yet, this guy’s manager. she certainly can’t do any worse than these people.
