A college student who was struck by lightning last spring has returned to campus in southwestern Ohio with a new outlook on life.
Sean Ferguson of Pittsburgh is expecting to graduate in December from the University of Dayton.
He was walking home in Dayton in April when he was struck by lightning. The university says he suffered a broken jaw and burns to more than 35 percent of his body.
Ferguson says he still feels the sensation of pins and needles from his knees to his toes. He had to go through physical therapy to relearn how to walk.
He tells the Dayton Daily News that he doesn't take anything for granted now. He plans to start jogging and running, to get back to playing sports and other outdoor activities.
