That was truly inspirational. You made me cry with pride (and I don’t even know you!). Congrats on embodying what we strive for every day.

I have tears. But they’re of joy at your having the strength to go on, and your luck in finding your crew to help you succeed. A worthy winner indeed.

Very much like my story too (Gorlin’s Syndrome), so a well deserved winner.

Thank you for sharing your story, it brought a lump to my throat and made my eyes get all misty. I love that you gave the definition of Serenity, it is all those things to me too, and I also strive for that in my life. Well done on your win!

Wow, this essay sounds so much like my own story. I don’t have the same condition, but I too spent my childhood in a hospital dealing with degenerative bone disease. I can really relate to what you’ve written. Thanks for putting it into words!
