Nova is known to be one of the top 10 community colleges in Virginia. It is close to home and to my friends and family. I believe that i should be selected to participate in the pathway program because I’m a hard-working student.
In my life, I’ve had one problems. At the age of 9 , I was diagnosed with diabetes type 1. It is never easy to have diabetes at such a young age and to grow up with it. I know it never was for me. It happened when I went to florida. I felt weak, my head was pounding like I been hit by a rock, my vision was very blurry and i didn't want to eat.

As soon as we got to the hospital, they thought i was just a kid who didnt want to go to school but when they checked my blood sugar the machine couldn’t even read. At that moment, they were scared. They rushed me to a room to plug me in to lower my blood sugar. After that day, they told me i had diabetes and that it was a miracle that i lasted that long with such a high blood sugar. My mom was surprised and also a bit sad because she thought it was her fault and it also reminded her of my grandfather. After a few days at the hospital, they let me go and now here I am today still living with diabetes. Diabetes has taught me how to be responsible, how to take care of myself, and most importantly eating healthier. This has affected my success in high school a bit and may impact my college career because not only do i have to check myself every 4 hours but I have to watch what I have to eat. If I eat too much it's gets high but if i don't eat or eat too little it gets low. Sometimes I have to stay up late just to see if my sugar is ok. It is not easy to live with diabetes but it has became a part of me throughout the years and I believe I can still successed.
