to be a local guide is my inspiration

hi everyone I used to work as a line Man but i suffered an accident that almost killed me and after being stuck in a wheelchair I discovered the Local guides Program in Google an started to share Content on Maps, eventually I became aGoogle local guide which gave me the hope and the inspiration to get out of that wheelchair and start to explore the world and help google to improve the map of my area

hi everyone, today I will tell you why imI a proud Google local guide: I will start by introducing myself: my name is Marcos Zaiht I’m on recovery afterfter an awful accident that almost killed me at December the first 2016 an electric shock throwed me from a pole while working as a line man, thank God I’m still alive and fighting against a brain injury that didn’t let me walk, I was stuck in a wheelchair for about nine months, thank God I can stand up and started to walk, and now I use Google maps in a regular basis and became a level 5 local guide, Google maps helped me to feel better by helping the Google team with my reviews, fotographs and suggestions as a local guide, that also let me help the people that use Google maps
