I have been given a prompt in which says: " The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?". I need you to write about my health issue. I was born with Chiari Malformation, which was diagnosed while I was in elementary school. This is a rare neurological disorder in which the brain tissue herniates out of the skull and into the spinal canal. It caused the spinal fluid to stop and created syringomyelia in my spinal cord (which is like a big cyst). My spine could not navigate this big bubble and bent, causing scoliosis. I had brain decompression surgery. Recovery was a long process with no sports allowed for a while and damage to my executive functioning. I have overcome this and my trajectory in school has been fantastic - I was a c and d student as a freshmen and as a junior I got A's and 1 B+. I have worked hard through the skills lab (special ed) to recover and develop learning skills to overcome. Not sure if this matters but I've even overcome the odds with My scoliosis, once at 30 degrees and projected to be at 50 degrees is barely at 10 degrees. I have had to overcome questions about the scar going up the back of the neck and head - but now I answer questions and make people aware. I would like to incorporate my journey with this disease and how I overcame it. How through constant hard work with the special ed department and my doctors I overcame my executive functioning skills. I have been on an upward trajectory, and will continue to do so. Can you write about this? do you need more information?
