Endo is Not Everything

Happy Endometriosis Awareness Month! Instead of giving you information I’ve already provided you with, I’m going to share 10 things I’ve done since being diagnosed with Endometriosis! Endo is not everything in any of our lives, we can still do anything we put on minds to, so here’s what I have done:
1. I performed in all four of my high school musicals! One of which was right after I got my surgery and another was extremely dance heavy and very hard on my body.
2. I performed in many shows outside of my school which all made me so happy because I got to do what I love!
3. I’ve spent lots of time with my wonderful family! They are the people who I know are always there for me no matter what.
4. I continued going to my favorite place in the world, my overnight theatre camp, every summer!
5. I continued to be successful in my academics even when I was in so much pain.
6. I continued to do my favorite thing (singing) almost every single day, and still do!
7. I’ve tried my best to make time for all my amazing friends (which isn’t always easy) who have been with me along this roller coaster of a journey. Thank you, you all know who you are.
8. I was accepted and committed to going to Stonehill  College!
9. I graduated high school!!
10. I started college in the fall and am now in my second semester and loving it! I also continue to sing there everyday apart of Stonehill’s all female a cappella group and their chapel choir!

Even though I have had many years of pain, all through high school and now college, it didn’t stop me from pushing through and doing the things I love and I’m so proud of myself for that! I courage all of you with Endometriosis to think back at all you’ve accomplished since your diagnosis to see how strong you all are! Happy Endometriosis Awareness Month everyone!
