- Alright time to update this...
I've been living with alopecia for a couple years now. I first noticed a spot on the side of my head, and one in my facial hair when I didnt shave for a few days. I went on line to research it and found out what I might have and went to the doctors. They diagnosed me with AA and said not to worry that I wasn't going to lose all my hair. Well about 6 month later the spots kept coming and so I stopped all the treatments (creams, shots, everything... I even tried some alternative medicines such as acupuncture). Well 6 months after that and I'm completely bald on my head (no eyebrows, a few eyelashes left) and it appears I'm very close to being AU and having no hair at all. I've given up on treatments and have focused more on just living my life and accepting it, as hard as that may be sometimes.
Away from the whole alopecia thing...I'm a junior in college. I'm a Physical Education major with a concentration in Adaptive PE. Which means I'll be specialized in working with kids with disabilities. I really enjoy what I'm going to school for, and because of that my grades actually show it for once haha. I also enjoy coaching youth sports. The past few years I've coached 7th and 8th grade boys soccer and 7th grade girls basketball. It was a great experience and it was amazing to see how much of an impact I could make in that short time. I had to stop because of transfering schools but it's definately something I want to do again once I'm done with school.
Other than that I love sports and music. I'm a huge soccer fan, sometimes a little too much haha, but I have at least one team in every major sport I can root for. Music wise I like everything. I've been playing drums since I was 5 (self-taught) and have begun to teach myself to play guitar and piano.
I'm just a typical college kid, like to have fun. I'm pretty open minded and a pretty accepting person. I often put my friends before me. I love being on the St. Lawrence River, where I live and everything that comes with that.
