My Talk with High Schoolers

Today, I got to speak with students at Oswego East High School. I have spoke to this health class now about four times. And I love every time I go. It is so fascinating to me to watch the responses of the students when they see me walk in and look fine but then hear my story and then know, I am not healthy on the inside. I share with them my story on how I was diagnosed, how my life has changed since then, how I live with the MS, and all things involved with the disease. Then the students ask me questions. Some are funny and some are serious. They truly seem to care about my life as the questions pertain to my well being. I love the fact that I can teach them about the disease, which a lot of them had never heard of. I love the fact that I have a possibility of inspiring someone, if they are listening haha. It is nice to get the awareness of the disease out there and the pay it forward attitude of any disease out there. To help others and to give. I hope to continue to speak to classes and hope one day be able to speak at other school and events as well. Thank you to Lauren Anderson for giving me this opportunity~
