Courage often is tested when we are forced to face the most difficult of situations. For the chronically ill, this is more often than not in the form of a hospital visit. Forcefully moving your feet along as you trickle down the bare white walls awaiting yet another test to describe your progress over the past few weeks is more daunting than a philosophy exam, and yes, those are frightening. Being a full time student and patient is a different experience than most are used to but in my opinion is the most rewarding. Escaping campus for the hospital, and then the hospital for campus allows the mind to never know what to think other than enjoy the bouncing back and forth. It's an odd life but it is the one we live together. We are strong. We are bold. We are brave.
