      Anonymous Answer

      "I feel that my friends would describe me as passionate and persevering. They know that I went through a difficult time while I was going through college. About halfway through college, in 2016, I was diagnosed with a condition called Chiari Malformation, a condition where your cerebellum sits in the hole the spinal cord runs through, causing numerous issues. As a result of this, I underwent major surgery in the summer of 2016 and had to drop out of my summer classes I was enrolled in and only take two classes in the fall and spring semesters following surgery. My friends would say that I am persevering because I did not let my challenges stop me from achieving my dream of graduating."
