A personal obstacle that I have overcome was when my mother became legally blind in 2004. When my mother lost her eyesight it was a very drastic change for my family and I. We went from being a completely normal family, financially stable, to having to live paycheck to paycheck and learning how to budget. It was especially hard for me because I was a young child who didn’t understand that my mom wasn’t able to do all the same things as normal moms. I had to quickly understand that my parents would not be able to get me everything I want, but the things that I needed. The older I became the more I understood that just because my mom had a disability that she was still like all the other moms. I began to learn more about my mom’s eye disease,
Stargardt, along with what caused it. I also learned that there was no cure for the eye disease. Another personal obstacle that I have overcome was when I was born I had a heart murmur that I had to see a Pediatric Cardiologist for. The murmur was supposed to go away the older I became but present day, and I still have it. Throughout my childhood, I have had to visit my Pediatric Cardiologist, which has added many medical bills to my parents. At a young age, I became intrigued by the medical field and realized that I too wanted to help people one day. I aspire to become a Pediatric Cardiologist and continue to help children like my doctors worked to help me.
