When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might. In doing so, I discovered new possibilities for success during such an important season for Self-Discovery. Being a high school student, just in itself brings challenges - between the workload, extracurriculars, and social expectations, it could all become overwhelming. After taking a deep breath and looking inward to discover what I truly needed and valued, I found relief in meditation and began practicing yoga. It became an oasis of self-care in which I was able to dedicate my time to exploring my inner self, relieving stress, and healing my mind while becoming more mindful and making connections within myself. Meditation and yoga have been invaluable experiences throughout my high school career - one that has provided relief during challenging times and taught me many valuable life lessons. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to ultimately make a difference in patients' lives, I am looking forward to the challenges and possibilities that await me. This educational path is my pathway to success, and I am confident that I will use all the necessary tools available to leverage success. Each obstacle conquered promises new prospects, as these achievements become stepping stones for future endeavors. I am positive that with hard work, dedication, and resilience, I will continue to emerge successful in each chapter of my life despite ADHD. After all, we all know you “need lemons to make lemonade”.

These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might. In doing so, I discovered new possibilities for success during such an important season for Self-Discovery. Being a high school student, just in itself brings challenges - between the workload, extracurriculars, and social expectations, it could all become overwhelming. After taking a deep breath and looking inward to discover what I truly needed and valued, I found relief in meditation and began practicing yoga. It became an oasis of self-care in which I was able to dedicate my time to exploring my inner self, relieving stress, and healing my mind while becoming more mindful and making connections within myself. Meditation and yoga have been invaluable experiences throughout my high school career - one that has provided relief during challenging times and taught me many valuable life lessons. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to ultimately make a difference in patients' lives, I am looking forward to the challenges and possibilities that await me. This educational path is my pathway to success, and I am confident that I will use all the necessary tools available to leverage success. Each obstacle conquered promises new prospects, as these achievements become stepping stones for future endeavors. I am positive that with hard work, dedication, and resilience, I will continue to emerge successful in each chapter of my life despite ADHD. After all, we all know you “need lemons to make lemonade”.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation.

It became an oasis of self-care in which I was able to dedicate my time to exploring my inner self, relieving stress, and healing my mind while becoming more mindful and making connections within myself. Meditation and yoga have been invaluable experiences throughout my high school career - one that has provided relief during challenging times and taught me many valuable life lessons. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to ultimately make a difference in patients' lives, I am looking forward to the challenges and possibilities that await me. This educational path is my pathway to success, and I am confident that I will use all the necessary tools available to leverage success. Each obstacle conquered promises new prospects, as these achievements become stepping stones for future endeavors. I am positive that with hard work, dedication, and resilience, I will continue to emerge successful in each chapter of my life despite ADHD. After all, we all know you “need lemons to make lemonade”.

This past summer I lost my aunt who was a hero in her community as a nurse, a mother, a daughter and a sister who was my mother's best friend in this world. That event has caused me to be in a state of reflection about my life, and the challenges I've gone through and inspired my journey thus far. When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might. In doing so, I discovered new possibilities for success during such an important season for Self-Discovery.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might. In doing so, I discovered new possibilities for success during such an important season for Self-Discovery. Being a high school student, just in itself brings challenges - between the workload, extracurriculars, and social expectations, it could all become overwhelming. After taking a deep breath and looking inward to discover what I truly needed and valued, I found relief in meditation and began practicing yoga.

I am positive that with hard work, dedication, and resilience, I will continue to emerge successful in each chapter of my life despite ADHD. After all, we all know you “need lemons to make lemonade”.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research about ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome in order to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace. I am committed to researching and learning more about ADHD, understanding it as an archetype for skills and talents just like any other student might. In doing so, I discovered new possibilities for success during such an important season for Self-Discovery. Being a high school student, just in itself brings challenges - between the workload, extracurriculars, and social expectations, it could all become overwhelming. After taking a deep breath and looking inward to discover what I truly needed and valued, I found relief in meditation and began practicing yoga. It became an oasis of self-care in which I was able to dedicate my time to exploring my inner self, relieving stress, and healing my mind while becoming more mindful and making connections within myself. Meditation and yoga have been invaluable experiences throughout my high school career - one that has provided relief during challenging times and taught me many valuable life lessons. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to ultimately make a difference in patients' lives, I am looking forward to the challenges and possibilities that await me.

Growing up with a single mom was overwhelmingly challenging and when I was first diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifteen, I felt blindsided and alone. I had no prior knowledge about what it meant to live with the disorder, so I took it upon myself to research ADHD. This process helped me gain a better understanding of how my diagnosis affects my day-to-day life and how I can overcome my circumstances. ADHD posed a unique challenge that I had to overcome to move forward. I found strategies that worked for me, such as changing the way I took notes or creating visuals to better understand concepts. The experience taught me how important it is to be aware of my own needs and push through tough times with hard work and determination. Combining my newfound strategies with an optimistic attitude resulted in overcoming a difficult and unfamiliar situation. In addition to researching ADHD, I began incorporating mindfulness practices into my daily routine such as meditation and yoga. These activities allowed me to find relief from the physical symptoms associated with ADHD such as trouble sleeping, anxiety and difficulty concentrating on tasks. Through these practices, I was able to develop a connection between mind and body which has since helped significantly in managing my symptoms along with the support, mentally, financially and spiritually from my mother. Learning about the complexities of ADHD has been a uniquely challenging obstacle yet an unexpected opportunity in my high school career. It took me from passively accepting ADHD in myself as a default personality to recognizing that this was not a true Self Identity, but rather a condition to understand and embrace.

After taking a deep breath and looking inward to discover what I truly needed and valued, I found relief in mediation and began practicing yoga. It became an oasis of self-care in which I was able to dedicate my time to exploring my inner self, relieving stress, and healing my mind, while becoming more mindful and making connections within myself. Meditation and yoga have been an invaluable experience throughout my high school career - one that has provided relief during challenging times and taught me many valuable life lessons. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to ultimately make a difference in patients' lives, I am looking forward to the challenges and possibilities that await me. This educational path is my pathway to success, and I am confident that I will use all the necessary tools available for leveraging success. Each obstacle conquered promises new prospects, as these achievements become steppingstones for future endeavors. I am positive that with hard work, dedication, and resilience, I will continue to emerge successful with each chapter of my life despite ADHD. Afterall, we all know you “need lemons to make lemonade”.

In the 9th grade, I was blindsided by my ADHD diagnosis (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I was frightened by my diagnosis. I didn’t know what to expect. As a high school freshman, I was working on my constitution and discovering my career path. I learned in three months that ADHD is not my personality, and I rose to the challenge and became an active participant. I committed myself to learn everything I could about having ADHD and its symptoms. I committed myself to learn everything I could about having ADHD and its symptoms. First, I read articles about my condition in the International Journal of Psychology. Then, I started recording the frequency and type of symptoms I was experiencing on a calendar. I compare my ADHD to a person with arthritis that flares up on a cold winter day. Simple noises like chewing gum and tapping a pencil can trigger impulsive thoughts. Impulsive thoughts drain my mental battery, like a car with its headlights on all night. When you wake up and need to drive to school or work, you have no energy to go; the battery is dead. Likewise, the stimuli have drained my mental battery when I need my focus to analyze ideas and the mental endurance to sustain me through completion. I was armed with the awareness of my ADHD episodes, what triggers them, and how to disrupt the overstimulation. I was able to make progress toward the personal growth I expected of myself. I found relief through an unlikely activity, meditation. In 10th grade, I was determined to find my spiritual path authentically independent of my mother's spiritual pathway. Spiritual mediation has set the essential groundwork for me to transition to mental mediation. My first guided spiritual meditation class was on YouTube in my bedroom. Although I was in the same room I had been in for months trying to finish work, I reached mental clarity in my thoughts. The spiritual meditation sessions I completed allowed me to gain the ability to ignore distractions and allowed me to focus my mind, and preserve my mental battery. As a result of my experience with meditation, I started participating in yoga, a form of meditation with control movement. Once I could meditate with controlled body movements, I began internalizing this learned behavior in my academic life to help me. Doctors prescribe, and nurses develop the best practice treatments. How treatments are delivered can make all the difference in the world for a patient. I am a living testimony to the power of treatments on patients’ physical and mental well-being. I am also an only child to a single mother of a Black-owned tax firm. My mother has now used her resources and fortunes to develop and invest in my growth and development, therefore passing down her wealth and resources to my generation. I am pursuing my BSN in Nursing to make a difference in patient’s physical and psychological well-being. I have realized that often as an emerging young adult, teens can often have a cup being "half-empty" type of mentality when it comes to embracing adulthood. My ADHD diagnosis has profoundly impacted the silhouette of who I am today; however, don’t count me out. I have yet to finish filling the outline with my authentic colors. " I slept and dreamt that life was all joy. I awoke and saw that life was all service. I acted and behold; service was a joy." Rabindranath Tagore
