Scott Bolzan

Scott Bolzan is a man who had a very bad accident that hurt his brain. This means that he had trouble thinking and remembering things. He went to the hospital and the doctors helped him get better, but he still had some problems.

One day, Scott Bolzan went to work like usual. But when he got to work, he didn't remember how to do his job! It was like his brain forgot everything he had learned about his job. This made him feel very sad and scared.

Scott Bolzan decided he needed to do something to help himself. So he started writing down everything he needed to remember. He wrote down how to do his job, what he needed to buy at the store, and even his own name and phone number!

This helped Scott Bolzan a lot. He was able to remember things that he needed to know. And because he wrote everything down, he could always look back at his notes if he forgot something.

Even though Scott Bolzan had a tough time, he didn't give up. He found a way to help himself and keep going.
