Re: update years later - hope for the future

[Guest guest]

Hi , thanks for sharing this with us, really is hope! I printed this out

and gave it to to read (who was in the middle of a computer game, will

check with him later) because she reminded me of him - age 22, wanting to get

into cancer research, just got his BS in Biology this summer, so had those

organic chemistry courses, etc. Now time for job hunting, ugh!

He also started with our local community college, then transferred to a

university.

So good to hear how well your daughter is doing, she's made great progress in

this battle!

Dean's List. This year she is taking organic chemistry and cell biology and as a

Junior is on her way to achieving her dream of doing scientific research and is

considering going on for a PhD.

is aware of her limitations and triggers and knows how to choose her battles on

what to confront (changing a lab section because she does not like the teacher)

and what not to (ex-housemates who are not paying a past small bill.)
