Achievement: College

I started going to college this summer after not being in school for nine years and it would be at the end of that semester that I started having breathing issues.  It would be on the first day of my second semester that I had the biopsy of the main nodule on my thyroid.  I would be my fourth week of classes to find out I have cancer and my 6th week to get the gland removed.  I would become behind in two of my three classes and have to play catch up with them.  I struggled staying awake and having the energy to do my classwork, but I never gave up even though I felt like my world was falling apart.  I was determined to not allow my cancer to take my future away from me... my dreams and my passion.  I held on tight to those with both hands as I dealt with my cancer and as I continue to deal with it and the aftermath.  I was able to pass my classes while dealing with all of that, the physical, and emotional pains.

I checked my school email account yesterday to see if I got my semester GPA, my overall GPA, and my academic standing... and I was shocked to what I found.  I got on the Dean's List and mind you, I've never been on the honor roll when I was in school, but to get this while dealing with cancer... it just... wow.  To me, this has taught me that even though you are ill, you can still achieve things, great things, and don't let someone tell you otherwise.

My next goal is to get on the Dean's List again next semester!

  1. Self-winding mechanical watches are also known as rolex replica sale. These watches require a watch winder in order for it to run appropriately. Automatic rolex replica sale have to be worn consistently since they rely on the mechanical weight located inside the replica watches uk. By wearing the watch, the weight sways back and forth, making it wind itself. When the watch is not sported regularly or is just worn sporadically, the said mechanism will not wind, resulting to the watch failing to run. Almost all automatically winding rolex replica sale are capable of being winded manually although most users find this option very inconvenient. A rolex replica winder, a device which can hold one or multiple watches while rotating them in simulating human motion, was created so that automatic winding watches function properly when it is not worn.
