Aaron Falk- Assignment 21

 One of the most recent challenges I’ve had to overcome that comes to mind was in the second semester of freshman year. My body has been notorious for catching strep at least once every single year, but freshman year probably had the most long term effects. Starting around the beginning of February I caught strep and my parents thought I was over exaggerating so I continued to go to school until one day I passed out in the shower. I would have strep until near the end of March with about the first two weeks out of school and numerous more days as the doctor would require frequent tests as they thought I had chronic strep. Through all of this it was very difficult to keep up with school as I was constantly having to miss while also having very draining symptoms. It also threw off my wishes to do track as I was beaten down and too unconditioned to attempt to return. But school was the most important aspect to not let slip out of my hands so I would make sure that every time I was feeling a little better and not completely drained I would set a goal to finish so many missing assignments even if it was just an hour or two.
