Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my teams page, and to help us stomp out Type 1 Diabetes.
I found this recently it is an Essay i wrote for a college application.. I just changed SAT to NCLEX to make it more relatable to now please read it and let me know what you think! :)Everyone has at least one significant experience in their life time. Some happen sooner than others, some are life altering, and some may just be a bump in the road to success. In my case it happened sooner rather than later, and was a big life-changing event.
The summer before I entered 5th grade was long and unforgettable. My parents both worked during the day, so I spent the weekdays with various aunts, and my grandmother. Every weekend when I returned home my parents noticed I looked thinner; however they assumed I was just getting a lot of exercise playing with my cousins. Near the end of July I began feeling extremely sick, I couldn't eat, I drank a gallon of water in one hour, and I was waking up every half hour to use the bathroom. When I told my parents what was happening they took me to my pediatrician, and were told it was just a bug and would pass. The next week I was still feeling ill, and returned to the doctors to receive a similar response. It wasn't until the 3rd visit that they took a blood sample and a nurse practitioner, not one of the 2 doctors I had previously seen, correctly diagnosed me, with type one juvenile diabetes. After that I was taken to Winchester hospital with a blood sugar of 627 when the normal is 100. When I was at Winchester hospital with my father I remember him trying to contact my mother who was starting her first day at a new job, and it was nearly impossible to get a hold of her. After that I don't remember much. But I do remember at age 9 being in a hospital for 3 days, under close watch, and newly diagnosed with a disease I could hardly pronounce. After I was released from the hospital I saw various people: doctors, nutritionists, and nurse practitioners. They taught me about type one diabetes, and what had happened to me; they explained how now a 9 year old would have to watch what she eats and count her carbohydrates, and oh did I mention no more trick-or-treating. That was and probably still is the toughest thing a child can give up, the simplest treats. Many times I questioned why this happened to me. I wasn't over weight; I didn't constantly have sweets, and I was just your normal average 9 year old. Then I found out type one diabetes isn't something you can prevent, it's in your genes. However at age 10 I didn't understand this. I thought that God gave me diabetes to punish me for something, and sometimes I still question why. However God gives you only what He knows you can handle, and that's what keeps me from giving up on my diabetes. Of course I have my bad days when I want that huge slice of cake, but then I think about it, and weigh my options. A slice of cake and have my legs amputated at age 50 because of lack of circulation, or skip the cake have an apple and hopefully get a different out come.
I believe that being diagnosed with diabetes has been the toughest challenge in my life, tougher than any homework problem or NCLEX question. Because in this case there's never an absolute right answer you could do everything right and still have a blood sugar that's too high or too low; but I believe that being diagnosed at such an early age gave me a responsibility that I have to handle, which makes it possible for me today to take on many other responsibilities. Because if I can keep my self in good health, when my body's fighting it, then I can accomplish any smaller task.
Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page! I'll be taking part in this year's Walk to raise funds to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). If you ask people with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening. And they know it never goes away.
I am asking for your support. Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts. By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes. Did you know that:
As the leader of the type 1 diabetes community, JDRF unifies global efforts to cure, treat and prevent T1D. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?
Thank you for your support!

text: If America Socializes Healthcare, Where Will Canadians Go For Medical Attention? by Steven Crowder 14 Feb 2009 post a comment Share This: Next to the topic of abortion (see last video), the requests for a "socialized healthcare" video have been flooding the old inbox more than any other. Having been raised in the tundra, desert wasteland that is Canada, I've experienced it first-hand. Let me tell you... I'd rather be in Detroit.... Yeah, it's that bad. [youtube xdARfegZDns nolink] Contrary to popular belief, the Canadian healthcare system is not the free-loving, easy-going fantasy that Michael Moore makes it out to be. His time spent making films and hating his country would be better served in a hot shower. Don't forget the crevices, Mikey (and they are bountiful)!

Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire is a webcomic started by Michael "Mookie" Terracciano in 2002. It follows the life and times of Dominic Deegan, a messianic yet pessimistic seer who travels about with Spark, his feline comic relief, and assorted companions. Originally a lighter strip based on puns and wordplay, Cerebus Syndrome ensued, arguably starting with the "Visions of Doom" arc, but certainly by "Storm of Souls".On May 24, 2013, the comic ended at three thousand comics. A set of colored epilogue prints, some with art by Garth Graham (Mookie's partner on his following webcomic Star Power), were later published.List of Major Arcs:
