After finishing four years out in middle school he moved on to the high school which was also called Newton-Conover High School. He was a great baseball player and student through high school, but he had a tendency to party too much. He began to get off track and lose sight of the right path to take. He had a bright future ahead of him until one night changed his entire life. Alec participated in a party one night and went home early one morning. Speeding to get home he ran a red light and got into a bad accident with another car. This resulted in him being paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life. He became severly depressed after this happend when he finally realized that he would never play baseball again. He went on to graduate high school with a barely passing GPA. He wanted to go to college but once again he chose the wrong path. Alec began using drugs such as marijuana and pain pills. He took a tole on his body and he got to the point where he was not going to college and he was a full drug addict. His family was very concerned about him and they tried over and over again to help him. He would not accept any help. Ever since the accident that night he was depressed and he just threw his life away. He struggled to even get out of bed every day he was so depressed and drugged up. Alec had the future ahead of himself until one day it was all threw away because of his decisions. Alec finally entered rehab where he did not last but 10 days and then he walked out. His life was a constant struggle and it will continue to be until he finds that right road to start on.
