Hey y'all. Long time no talk.
Just wanted to let everyone know that despite UC and everything that comes with it, I managed to push through and on Friday, officially graduated with my first degree (magna cum laude)! I am the first person in my family to graduate with a bachelor's degree. UC is rough, it wears you down, it makes you want to give up but just remember; UC is physical. You may not be able to control what happens to your body; between the drugs and the disease you will feel pain, you will be hurt, sore, fatigued, and some of us will even have to change their whole lives because of it. However, only YOU can control your mind and spirit. If you keep gutting it out and stay determined, you can achieve what you want in this life.
Now I have to find work that not only pays well enough, but that I am able to physically handle. I know I'll find it in time. I am not giving up-and I hope whoever reads this decides to not give up either.
