The Whole Experience

My observation of this issue if from personal experience. When I was fifteen-years-old I wanted to go on the pill. I had many reasons to want to make this decision and I was very aware of the consequences and side effects that birth control can have. At the time, my friends and the internet make this task seem like a very simple one in Ontario.

Tragedies, misfortunes, and disasters can alter the course of one’s existence. While existing only a fifth of my projected life span, illustrations of adversity have begun to shape my life. Maya Angelou clarified adversity best when she stated, “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” Not a day goes by that I do not fail and succeed in some way, yet the lessons learned from the medley of failures and successes blend to create the ink in which I paint my Mona…
