back. Experience the sharp pain of falling, which will make you strive for the satisfaction of perfection. Welcome to the world of figure skating. This day began like any other day, waking up four in the morning to drive 30 miles down to Hackensack, New Jersey. I lived in that blue Honda Odyssey minivan that smelled like whatever meal I had eaten last. I slept, ate, and changed in the car. Waking up in the pitch black to make it to the rink to practice for a few hours, only to drive…

When Life Throws You a Curveball For 12 years I lived, breathed, and slept baseball. I sacrificed attending funerals, birthday celebrations, and family reunions to hone my skills for the national pastime. I would have to be physically ripped away from the game that I loved to stop playing for even a few minutes. The day I was forced to hang up my cleats came in March of my junior year when I was cut from my high school baseball team. Astonishing, my life scale at that moment balanced.…

The ICU ward was filled with a sense of isolation and coldness. On my first day there, I met Manny, a 7-year old Hmong immigrant who was recovering from brain surgery. His mother sat beside him in tears at the sight of her son’s head wrapped in medical dressing and his mouth intubated. I stood quietly in the corner observing the physician on call, Dr. Gajula, attempting to explain post-operation difficulties the patient would endure. Medical jargon poured out of Dr. Gajula’s mouth only to be…
