Ethan Springhorn, unemployed coal miner on disability.
Journal entry #1
My name is Ethan Springhorn; I'm an
Unemployed coal miner currently on disability. I live in Farmington WV, I'm on
disability because I was too close to an explosion and a rock fell on my foot
and shattered all of the bones in it nobody told me that they were going to
blast the rock. When I was younger, in the beginning of my senior year of high
school I had to leave because my family was in debt so I got a job in the
closest coal mine and have been working their ever since. I believe that if the
government had fewer taxes then I could have gone to college, I was pretty smart
and if my family was not in debt then I might have been able to start a career,
I wanted to be a doctor. My one sibling, my older sister Hannah is a teacher in a
private school in California, we had a argument about who would drop out and
help our family, and I obviously lost. When my dad was alive he was a police
detective, and was killed on the job when I was 7 and my mom didn't work. Just
last week before my accident my best buddy Thomas was killed with 8 others that
were working down there. The part that those guys worked in collapsed without
warning burying them in 6 feet of rock.
