It is about 12:30 am, and I am sitting here on my bed with my cats eyeing me from my doorway because they have not been fed a small bedtime snack. My parents are in the other room resting from a long day. My graduation gown and hood are hanging up- ready for tomorrow. I cannot believe I am graduating with my Master's degree! I want to talk about my tumultuous journey, but first I have people to thank. So many people to thank: My husband for being my backbone, and every now and then paper editor My family who was always there for me My professors and boss who wrote my recommendation letters My friends who helped me revise my personal statement when they were already busy with their lives My primary care doctor who helped me manage my pain and took care of me well- I would not have finished my program without her My pain team for being on top of everything and keeping me sane My current boss for being an AMAZING MENTOR My friends who always cheered me on!!! and encouraged me
The life of a wife, a mother, a whovian, a stomach cancer survivor and NF1 endurer. My health, my stories, my life.
