Kelly, I am sorry you are feeling so bad physically as well as mentally. However, you know what your potential is, though you may have to limit your time and not take all the classes all at once. Remember, you are going to achieve what you want to.

You have to remember to listen to your own heart and to what your body is telling you. I am sure you mother is very proud of you, but very worried about you. Just take your time, and you will get there, never give up! Ever!

You are going for something that is so great, helping others! That in itself is such an accomplishment! Do not down yourself, have faith in yourself. Do not let anybody ever talk you out of your dreams. They are your dreams, stick to the course and you will arrive at the destination you are shooting for! As you can see, we all believe in you. You are in control of your own life. Not your mother or anybody else.

My sister-in-law has crohn's disease; she has been living with it for about 15 years. She really had a bad case of it. She is doing just fine now. She went through the surgery, and that has not stopped her.

You are stronger than you think you are, look at what you are doing, and if you need to vent this is a very good place to do it, we are here for you, you are never alone.
