Writing:
My own experience as a patient in the ER, struggling through recovery, helping translate for my family and helping out with community outreach, eventually going back as a volunteer to the same ER, starting community youth outreach with my local congregation, volunteering at my middle schools to tutor kids, working 3+ jobs to pay for college. I also mention witnessing a lot of the gaps in my community and how it has impacted me personally and shaped my journey. Just a brief summary.

Its OVER!

Puked between CARS and BB. Testing proctor interrupted test because of car alarm. I may not be able to read but i know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell! Knocked out for 14 hours after and barely slept for the next week. But we survived. Bit lower than my last 3 FLs but happy I made it out given stress and testing conditions!

I cant read but im happy and I can sleep now! NEXT—> app season BABY!
