My goal in life is to discover my true passion, and I believe that college will be the key to helping me do that. I’ve always enjoyed reading and learning about computers, which is why I plan to major in computer science. My journey with Type 1 diabetes began when I was just eight years old. Receiving that diagnosis was terrifying. I remember thinking my life would never be the same and that the idea of taking multiple shots a day seemed impossible. The first year after my diagnosis was the toughest. Going to school and having to explain to my classmates why I kept visiting the nurse’s office made me feel very isolated. There were moments when I doubted I would ever be able to manage my diabetes. But over time, with a lot of hard work, research, and support, I’ve learned how to manage my condition. Now, my goal in college is to make a positive impact on the world, just as overcoming the challenges of diabetes has shaped me. Through my experiences, I’ve gained resilience and determination, and I hope to use those qualities to contribute to the world in meaningful ways.
