Vanessa Schmitt was a typical teenager. Full of energy and enthusiasm, she studied, held a lead in the school play, sang in choir,  and generally enjoyed life. Then one afternoon, a head on crash with a large truck changed the course of Vanessa's  life. With a traumatic brain injury, she had to re-learn how to learn. With insights from her own journey, Vanessa brought unique insights into the process of learning. And that experience eventually sent her on a mission to help learning challenged children.  Special thanks to CVS Health for underwriting this podcast.
