Me
I know. Who wants to hear about someone else? I figured that if you were going to be reading my blog you would want to know about me. I am 14 years old. I was born and raised within 45 minutes from where I live now (an hour if there is traffic). I’m a Libra which I know tells some people a lot (yeah right). All it tells me though is that my mom and I like reading the horoscopes on the couch on Shabbat morning in our pajamas. My birthday is September 24th and as a side note I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease when I was eight. Yeah it sucks but honestly I try to not let it be the ruler of my life.
My disease is taking me for a ride but I’m the one in the driver’s seat. Yeah I take weekly shots, 10 pills a day, and yes even though I get at least eight hours of sleep a night I still fall asleep in class every day. But honestly those are just speed bumps on the road of my life (it sounds tacky, right).
Even though I’m going through this I’m still maintaining a 3.0 gradepoint average and five co-curriculars. Plus I’m starting a group at Shalhevet for students with IBD and Ulcerative Colitis. School is hard, yet every day that I’m not feeling well but still push to go to school I feel proud. I know that no matter what comes at me I’m ready.
Like the Nike advertisement says: “Just do it.”
