Alumni Stories
Shadowdancer Ortega Melendez
Class of 1972
I've had an interesting Path that I would of dreamed or thought would guide to this day.
Part of my story behind on April 6, 1988 when a drunk driver hit my motorcycle and I hit a cement light post. As a result I received multiple trauma, which led to my drowning in my own blood internal...I had a NDE.
Through the years I've learned that my physical challenges do not or should define and limit who I have been...first and foremost a proud Chumash/Mexican Father/Grandfather...Being Me
