Telemarketers. Just the word sends shivers through many adults. In years past, the prime calling time was evening, when families were prepping for or eating dinner, helping the children with homework or having quality family time together.
The caller, eager to get in as much as possible before being cut off, would jump into a spiel about a product, service or survey, speaking as rapidly as a professional auctioneer. During those years, people were far less likely to simply hang up on someone, so often they listened until the telemarketer took that first deep breath to jump in.
“I’m sorry.… Read the rest

It was the summer of 2018, the summer before my senior year of high school. All I had in mind for that summer was to relax and enjoy it to the fullest. Nothing could have prepared me for the life-changing moment I would soon endure.
On July 21, 2018, I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease in which the immune system eats away at the nervous system. Although it is treatable, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Common symptoms include fatigue, tingling/numbness, vision problems and muscular difficulties.
It wasn’t until late June that… Read the rest
