This letter is more encouragement than a question I suppose. I just want you all to know that no matter what, I hope you continue with your education. It is the one thing you CAN do, even if it is harder physically or it takes longer than other kids...
Having an education can be a great source of hope when so many things in our lives seem hopeless....
What are your dreams? What things would you like to do for a living someday? You can get some great "career" tips from the folks here...
...as for me, I got through HS and college in a "fairly" normal manner, (doesn't everyone race to the bathroom between each class???? LOL) but my IC was not as bad as some until the last few years.
****BUT!!!!!
Now that I DO have my degree (in dietetics) I can work my own hours, even schedule individual patients to meet my body's demands...
****AND!!!!
I can make more money in 12 hours a week than I could if I worked as a clerk or food service worker full time....and frankly, I could never work full time, especially a job that kept me on my feet for 8 hours....
Anyway....go for it...there ARE things you can do....keep plugging along...explore different options....
If you need any help or encouragement let us know! Julie B
