Informative Essay On Landmark College Students

968 Words4 Pages

High School was difficult, I remember when I was applying to different colleges and I was told about Landmark College, after my guidance counselor told me and my mom that “she doesn’t have the grades to go to Med School” I still applied to my top choices as well as Landmark and got into them all, I also didn’t feel that I was even going to graduate high school.

Where NF sucks and “gets on your nerves” I wouldn’t change it, instead I would rather educate and help spread awareness for the condition. The way I see it just telling one person can create the best domino effect because that one person has the potential to tell others. I’m glad I now know more about NF and can be prepared for the future if people ask me more detailed information about the condition or even if I have my own kids
