In the fall of 2015, I was hospitalized and clinically diagnosed with Colitis. Colitis is an untreatable disease of the digestive system that causes pain and many bowel disorders. My original plan was to continue my education at my previous University, until I became ill. Due to my hospitalization, I was un-enrolled from my University and forced to continue my education at Collin College. Although at the time this was unfortunate, it has become a blessing. While I am at home receiving medical care, I am able to attend school part-time. The reason that I am not a full time student is because my parents could not afford to pay for 1 more class. My family is now struggling to pay my $30,000 medical bill that I acquired from my hospital visit.
