Kevin Davis

His was the result of a tussel with a friend … over a girl. Left with an ‘ear’-reversible scar, Community Assistant Kevin Davis recalls his freshman year disaster. Sporting a fad from his high school days, a hoop earing hung from his left lobe. While arguing over a girl with his friend, things became aggressive. Verbal aggression soon turned physical as the hoop was hooked and then ripped from his ear. What remains today of Davis’ severed body part and heart is a humorous memory and a slightly mangled ear.

Senait Dafa

Senait Dafa tried to jump over a wall. Now a junior, Dafa was 12 years old at the time. As she was walking in the parking lot across from the Co-op with her mom, she saw the brick barrier ahead. Her mother took the path more frequently traveled as Dafa’s childish hyper-feelings led her to try a different route. Senait Dafa had somewhat of a great fall. She went to mount the four foot divide and her shoe caught. The lip of her sneaker remained on one side of the wall while the rest of her body propelled over the other.All the king’s horses and all the king’s men weren’t needed to put Senait Dafa back together again, but Dafa’s circular scrape is still visible today on her knee.

Joris Von Moltke

Sophomore Joris von Moltke has recently returned from a semester in Germany. Having lived there before, at least one scar from his childhood has a story that takes place there. Back in Berlin, five year old von Moltke had just gotten his first bike. With the bike came a bike lock. And attached to that lock were keys on a zip tie. Wanting to ride, von Moltke found a big pair of scissors to cut the zip tie and get the keys. But as he began to cut he slipped and continued cutting between his thumb and pointer finger. Without a car, but with a wailing five year old, von Moltke’s dad biked him to the Emergency Room where four or five stitches were used to sew up the wound. After the incident, von Moltke had a fear of scissors – the big kind anyway. However, he can proudly say he’s gotten over that now.

Zoe Fuller

It came from protecting her bunny. The puckered, pink scar running vertically rests on the mid-forehead of 16-year-old Zoe Fuller. In an effort to save her little bunny from soaring across the room, her feet gave way and her head split. Having a bunny with a hankering for the taste of electrical chords led Fuller to start running. Remembering the result of the last electrical snack – an animal launched in the air from the shock of electrocution – she tried to prevent the same outcome. Scurrying toward her pet, she tripped, her forehead making contact with the edge of a ping pong table. The sound of the impact was enough to scare the bunny away. Peeking out from behind the couch, the bunny witnessed her savior dripping in blood.
