“My tremendous ambition to live a successful life is in part fueled by the medical obstacles that I have had overcome thus far. In my sophomore year of high school, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Crohn’s is a chronic immune system disorder where the immune system attacks the digestive track. I missed countless days of school throughout the first “flare-up” of symptoms. I was physically and emotionally drained. It would have been very easy to give up, but I just kept pressing on. I refused to let my disease stop me from being successful. Crohn’s a disease that still affects my daily life; however, I will never let it obstruct my path to success.”
