Since I was a little girl, I’ve had a dream. It was never to be a dancer, singer, or a doctor. No, I realized very young that whatever I did, I wanted to help others by non-traditional means. My dreams were limited when I became sick with Crohn’s disease at eleven years old. Growing up, people have often told me I couldn’t make it in life. “She’s too weak and sick,” I often heard. “She can’t handle the stress of high school, much less college.” Doctors have advised for me to take time off from school because I wouldn’t be able to keep up academically or physically. Despite my expectations from others and myself, I’m grateful I have God on my side. He used my weaknesses and turned them into strengths and now, I am one semester away from graduating with my bachelor’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I pray I am accepted into a graduate school by August 2012. When I become certified, I can finally help others the way I never thought was possible growing up. God promised in II Corinthians 12: 9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ can work through me. Sometimes, we might feel like we have to have it all together. However, It is when we are at our weakest point that God’s glory is most evident.
