Covid19 survivor against all odds, I'm still here

I wanted to share how many trials I have faced, I do not express this out of pity, but just to show what resilience and determination can do when one never gives up. This article was written when I was a student. It took me seven years to finish my Bachelor’s degree. People made fun of me and told me I was wasting my time. They said there are so many people suffering and no one wants to read about other people’s problems, but my purpose was not to be a victim. My goal was and is to help others and give them hope. I wanted that since English is my second language, I always wanted to be able to write in both English and Spanish and thanks to technology I have been able to achieve this. I kept going, and even though I ended up exhausting my financial aid. Thank God and then for the donations after this article was published. I was able to finish and keep moving forward on my next step which was to finish my Master’s degree. I still remember the day of my graduation. I had just come out of a surgery similar to the one I have now, and I “googled” how to do my makeup and hair, even though I burned my neck with the curling iron😂 😭. It was painful at the time and fun now to recount. I have so many pictures of work done from various hospital beds and many sleepless nights like tonight, but in my mind, I always say, “Mitzy, this will pass,” breathe. That’s why I love knowing all about the body and its functions. I love neurobiology, health, mental illness, psychology, poetry, the possible length of time it can take for medication to leave your body, side effects, etc.; you may see me on my phone, but it’s researching and reading. This helps me stay calm and see life differently. Knowing that they continue to slowly fade away has given me the ability to not feel ashamed to write about my medical issues and the coping skills I use. One thing I will say... "I've never made a tik-tok, but I actually enjoy and laugh out loud at the videos" so to ALL tik-tokers (I hope that's how you say it🤷🏽♀️). Thank you for brightening my days and making me laugh!

If you organize your thoughts and relate them to your work ethic, and you have

Discipline and learn to be patient and constant, you will realize that: Your greatness will be seen in your results NEVER IN YOUR SPEECH!!!
