for me. I had been diagnosed with a life altering disease‚ which is closely related to diabetes. I found out that my body creates over twice the amount of insulin I need‚ working my pancreas too hard creating an abundance of problems. I have had to learn so much‚ and change so many aspects of my life because of this disease and the problems it creates. A lot of things lead up to my diagnosis‚ but it wasn’t an easy road to take.

I would call my coach when rain canceled practice because I didn’t think the water would hurt anyone. Shin guards were like another layer of skin to me‚ and my cleats seemed to remain attached to my feet more times than not. It was the one thing in my life I felt sure I was decent at. I had the speed‚ and the muscle to kick the ball across the field; I felt unstoppable.

I was a nervous wreck as I climbed onto the two wheeled wonder that stood before me. The leather from the seat was of course extremely hot from the heat of the sun and scorched my leg as I sat down.

When I received the notice that I had pass the university entrance exam‚ I was overwhelme by excitement‚ I had no idea how my campus live would be‚ and I never expected it to be this bad. The room that I rent is on the third floor of the host’s house. When I first saw the room‚ I was really disappointed. It is small and has no window‚ so it’s very hot in the summer.

When I was ten‚ I started assisting at our church outreach program to feed the homeless in Yuma. We created sack lunches and during cold months soup. Saturday’s often were spent driving around the city‚ stopping when finding people in need and providing a meal with some kind words of encouragement. This made me realize a few things.
