“Get up in the morning and the one of the first things I think about is what I’m going to wear. Depending on how I’m feeling I may throw on a nice outfit such as the one pictured.”
“In between classes or after I’m finish with classes, I often come sit on the bench on campuses depending on the weather. I take this time to study and get caught up on my work.”
“I make sure I keep water and pain medicine with me throughout the school day just in case I experience a pain episode.”
“Depending on what we are going over I may be giving a lecture during class. On this particular day I was presenting my senior thesis on Sickle Cell Disease.”
“While I’m at school I’m working extremely hard in all my classes. I try to keep my stress at a minimum because I know that’s one of my main crisis triggers. This is my last semester. In December I will have my bachelors of science in Biology and have my title as a ‘Morehouse Man.'”
