"While I was hooked up to all these things, it was only difficult to sit there and say, “I am going to see the light at the end of the tunnel.” But it was at that point where I said I am going to do something about it. I went back to school. Instead of thinking about all of the crap at the hospital, I just started doing what every other college kid would do: go out with friends, stay out late, pulling all nighters, not coming home until 3 in the morning—making some bad decisions. I just tried to be normal and tried to have fun. It was that year in college that really kept me going."
