Great moments come with great opportunities

No one gets to where they are going without overcoming some obstacles. I began my junior year in college trying to catch up with my math major by taking 19 credits. Oct 4th 2009, I finished the Baltimore Marathon, which was my 4th of out of 7 marathons,  in 4 hours and 11 minutes. The next day I woke with a pain behind my left year. Two days later, I woke up with an irritated eye muscle. That night, as I was having dinner with my housemates, my left side of my face went paralyzed. I went to the ER where I was told I had Bells Palsy. The cause of it was Lyme's Disease. This had an effect on my schooling as well. By the end of my junior year, I had almost 30 credits of math courses left. I was told that I wouldn't be able to graduate on time. Just like in a marathon, I knew what I needed to do to get to the end. I took 3  math courses in summer, 3 classes in the fall semester and 3 courses in the spring semester.  And I graduated May 15th 2011 with a bachelors in mathematics. Nobody is going to hit us harder than life. "It is not about how hard you hit but it is about hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. It is about how much you take and keep moving forward"(Rocky Balboa). That is my motivation for my journey! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z5OookwOoY
