Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.
People would get up and leave so they would not have to sit anywhere near me.
Given six months to live and being the fighter that I am, I set high goals for myself.
Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.
My studies are important to me. I made the honor role just recently, with 2 A's and 2 B's.
AIDS can destroy a family if you let it, but luckily for my sister and me, Mom taught us to keep going. Don't give up, be proud of who you are, and never feel sorry for yourself.
