Before now...
Tuesday, June 10, 14
Before I started the MCBS Program I was debating on which degree
program to focus on. There were so many options and I wanted to choose
the best one for me that would support my experience and would launch me
into the future to support my success. 
Tuesday, June 10, 14
I had always thought I wanted to be singer on Broadway and focused my
efforts towards music and practice when I was younger. Even though I was
not at the piano everyday, I still wanted to try my best to focus.
Tuesday, June 10, 14
But then I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a teenager and my
dreams started to take the back seat. This was a really challenging time for
me and what’s worse was at the time, I did not know it. It was new and
different, I did not know anything about the condition and no one else in my
family had it. I decided I would moved forward with a can do attitude, l really
didn’t have a choice. I could embrace it or fight it.
Tuesday, June 10, 14
I can tell you that as the years went on I was so structured about the
diabetes that it started taking over my life. I missed out on fun and being
spontaneous because everything I did had to be planned. This was a
serious condition and as child I had to take it seriously. I did not think about
how it was impacting my mental state as I grew up.
Tuesday, June 10, 14
I started seeing a pattern of mental breakdowns every couple of years after I
turned 18. This was simply because I am an overachiever and I did not recognize
the signs that I needed support. This was not the kind of support you get from a
health counselor, but people who like me share in the condition. I did not have
friends or family members who were diabetic, and I was not involved with any
programs that supported diabetes to meet other people like me.
Tuesday, June 10, 14
Because of this condition I still worked on my craft but never took the risk of
leaving good doctors and insurance plans to help me live a grounded and
healthy life. 
Because of that I missed opportunities to try and succeed. I was out making
my path, but never took the big leap.
Tuesday, June 10, 14
Because of that my life shifted into a different direction. I explored several
paths and tried everything before I settled on one thing. Finally, I made the
decision to take action in my life and create change that would impact my
future. And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media and the
arts, I have felt successful just by taking the first few steps
Tuesday, June 10, 14
My true regrets come from the fact that I didn’t understand my condition
enough as a child to tell myself that even though I have diabetes, who says I
can’t fulfill my dreams. I am thrilled to see what’s next for me as I continue
this chapter of my life in school and finally having a real focus!

Exploration: Storyboard

  • 2. Before I started the MCBS Program I was debating on which degree program to focus on. There were so many options and I wanted to choose the best one for me that would support my experience and would launch me into the future to support my success.  Tuesday, June 10, 14
  • 3. I had always thought I wanted to be singer on Broadway and focused my efforts towards music and practice when I was younger. Even though I was not at the piano everyday, I still wanted to try my best to focus. Tuesday, June 10, 14
  • 4. But then I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as a teenager and my dreams started to take the back seat. This was a really challenging time for me and what’s worse was at the time, I did not know it. It was new and different, I did not know anything about the condition and no one else in my family had it. I decided I would moved forward with a can do attitude, l really didn’t have a choice. I could embrace it or fight it. Tuesday, June 10, 14

I missed out on fun and being spontaneous because everything I did had to be planned. This was a serious condition and as child I had to take it seriously. I did not think about how it was impacting my mental state as I grew up. Tuesday, June 10, 14
  • 6. I started seeing a pattern of mental breakdowns every couple of years after I turned 18. This was simply because I am an overachiever and I did not recognize the signs that I needed support. This was not the kind of support you get from a health counselor, but people who like me share in the condition.

I am thrilled to see what’s next for me as I continue this chapter of my life in school and finally having a real focus! Tuesday, June 10, 14
