Transcend Warrior – Rebekah Litteral

My Story:

I was once enjoying my break during school and bam! I just fell out on the break table. My high school football coach jumped through his classroom window and picked me up and ran. We made it to the principal’s office and they gave me icing in my gums. I finally came through and had no idea what happened.
