Crohn's Disease: Coursework Analysis
When I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, I was worried about my academic future. I feared that would fall behind in my classes because of multiple absences I had while receiving an infusion at a hospital. However, I became determined not to fall behind in school.

During my high school years, I have been able to keep up with my school work, which has helped me be ranked in the top ten of my class. The inspirational advice I would give is that an individual living with IBD entering high school or college is to not fall behind in their coursework. It is important to not fall behind in coursework. Falling behind can

    Crohn’s Disease gave me a different outlook on life that I believe will shape me into a great lawyer. In life most things are not black and white, and because Crohn’s Disease is an invisible illness I learned that things are not always that people may initially see them to be and with careful analysis one can uncover what is really beneath the surface. Although I will always struggle with the physical components of Crohn’s Disease, I am mentally prepared for the new climb, which will hopefully be Seton Hall Law School. Because of my personal experience with being chronically ill and my interactions with many people I have met throughout my journey battling this illness, I have a further interest in practicing health care law.

    The doctors could not tell whether I had lupus or not instead they said to watch out for a list of symptoms and continue taking my antihistamine cocktail. This uncertainty in my health is not an obstacle that I can physically overcome, rather one that I learned to accept. It became my motivation, as I did everything I could to keep up with school and found ways to give back to my community. I learned to get work ahead of time, ask for help, and coordinate study sessions before taking my medicine. I explored new clubs like the student leadership team, to ensure that if I was diagnosed with lupus or any other disorder that I could make an impact before it was too late. I even took on leadership positions such as Editor in Chief of the school paper, preparing for my future even as my present is uncertain. Living with an undiagnosed disorder is not just hard, it’s scary and at times disheartening, but it also motivated me to do something with my life and my community. I am who am I because of my…

    When I was seven, I began experiencing extreme weight loss and severe abdominal pain. I stayed in a children’s hospital for two weeks until the doctors were finally able to identify the cause of my symptoms. They diagnosed me with Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is not a well known disease like cancer, heart disease or diabetes, but it currently affects almost two million Americans. These more prevalent diseases have extensive foundations that raise money and awareness for those who endure the condition, but because Crohn’s disease is not as well known, it does not have the same level of funding or support. My life’s goal is to raise money for this cause, and to become a research scientist to help aid in finding a cure to my disease.…
