“I didn’t want to die; I was only 19,” says JSU senior Chelsey Gladney. “I had so much more to live for. I had to get a degree. I wanted to see my mom, father, sister and my brother. I didn’t want them to bury me.”
Senior business major Chelsey Gladney (seated, center) returned to JSU a year after a collision with an 18-wheeler. She credits the performing troupe MADDRAMA with helping her heal emotionally. She is pictured with MADDRAMA members Jacolby Adams (left), Rodney Steele, Dominique Ventris, Alexandria Jones and Department of Speech Communication and Theatre administrative assistant James Lehaman Jr.
