    About Me

    Im 24 and fairly new to the world asthma. No one in my family has it so they dont understand asthma or what I go through so im on my own with this. I dont like letting people see when im having a bad day..I just fight the pain and tiredness and go about a normal day as much as possible. I was in a car accident about a year ago and still suffering from back and rib pain everyday. Finally had an MRI done and found out that my back and ribs are a lil messed up.

    Interests

    My Career as a Nurse...Going to the beach, chillin with friends, going out and dancing, singing, and running/exercise.
