Samantha Pulumbo was a stunningly beautiful and brilliant 16 year old with a promising future; an auto accident left her with brain injuries deemed “not compatible with life.”
Her story, told by LA Times writer Kurt Streeter, is a touching example of the brain’s plasticity and how well it can adapt, change and shift functions to different areas.

After Priscilla Palmer’s self development list my friend Jenny and I have decided to try to help build the self development community as well with a little contest. I would like to invite you to find out more details at Win a $25 Gift Certificate.
WOW! Samantha is an a amazing young woman. Definitely worth reading. The tissue came in handy.
Very interesting about the brains plasticity. I had no idea! Thank you for pointing this story out.
