Right now may be the hardest time of my life. Recently graduating from high school and going into college is stressful enough for a teenager girl. With all these other little things going on in my life I just dont know what to do with myself.
This past November (2013) I was diagnosed with Hashimoto, a disease that is in your thyroid and practically makes your whole body function. Before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's my mom thought I was just another depressed teenager who wanted to be cooped up in my room all day and sleep.
Now that I have been taking medicine for my thyroid, I've seemed to be a lot happier and not as closed up and tired as I used to be. I think that also having close friends and family around me to help me get through it helped me in the long run by not giving up on me and getting me out there more. Thanks, guys.
Now with being in college and making new close friends I think that I have started to get in the hang of not trying so hard to be myself and being open to new things, going out with new people, going to events that make me more inclined to trying something that I wouldn't beforehand.
College really does change you. I know people who have changed for the worse or people who change for the worse. I know that there are some people who drop out but thats not me. I'm not giving up. Maybe I'll have to change my Nursing major to something that isn't as difficult but I'm not even going to think about that right now.
My main point is that I am going to succeed. I am going to do my best for the best career I can get for myself. Its what I want and I am going to get it. I'm not going to drop everything for anyone. I'm following my dreams and pulling through.
