At Hackensack University Medical Center，his skull(头骨) was opened to reduce pressure on his brain.He was diagnosed with traumatic(创伤性) brain injury and remained in an unconscious state and on life support for nearly three weeks.

　　At Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick，N.J. physical therapist(治疗专家) Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body.But by the end of his six­week stay，he was able to walk out of the building.Leahy called that an inspiration and a surprise.

　　But Nepola’s recovery is incomplete.Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm，but he still struggles with his right hand.

　　In the process of recovery，Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why，and decided to share his story.Encouraged by his doctor，Sanjeev Kaul，he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending meetings in April.

　　He said he was nervous at first，but has grown used to the spotlight.And his recovery and visible injury help him draw serious attention from students.

　　Besides，“I’m not a wall，”he said.“I feel like I know how to talk to people.”

　　Drunk driving，he tells students，is like playing Russian roulette(俄罗斯轮盘赌博)：“You might do it a bunch of times，but something is going to happen.”

　　Now，his days are all about the therapy，work and going to the gym.Mentally，he says，“I’m a lot happier in my life.”
