the conclusion that I have arthritis. On all honesty I thought it was going to be the end of me because I didn’t know what was wrong with me, on top of seeing my parents stressed and anxious for my well-being, it was a lot for a 14 year old to take in and process. Nevertheless, I try be optimistic and see this experience as an opportunity. Living through all this, it made me mature. I developed a more mature mindset because I realized that life is precious and every day is a blessing to live. As well as it inspired me to be in Rheumatology. When I found out that this type of arthritis affects children younger than me, I was shocked. To think that pain I endured for 3 weeks was just the tip of the iceberg on what 7 or 8 year olds also experience. Which I why I want to be a Rheumatologist, to be able to help treat those poor children that suffer the extreme pain.
