Kim,
I so enjoyed reading your story (although I hate the fact that you had to go through such an ordeal). I don't know what your major was, but you are a great writer and storyteller.Perhaps, that is where your future lies. It sounds like you have handled everything with such patience, grace, and a wonderful attitude. I am sorry that this would happen to anyone, but especially someone so young as yourself. You are wise beyond your years. Stay well.

Danny G.
