Carly, you are very fortunate to have had the education and support that you've had from an early age - but even more so you are a very impressive individual for absorbing all that information and taking charge of your life with such a positive attitude at just 18 years old (and starting at 11!). I'm sure your parents are incredibly proud.
I have no doubt that you will manage this disease like a champion for the rest of your life. I hope you'll continue to find ways to pay it forward and inspire others with the kind of empathy and courage you're showing here. Wishing you the best of luck at school!
Just curious - what are you studying?
