excerpts from the book
"Living in a perpetual life-or-death crisis mode had diminished the importance of something so mundane as schoolwork. I had bigger burdens to bear such as getting out of bed before dinner, worrying if my fraternity brothers and study partners might ridicule me, trying to figure our my medication schedule, and wondering if I'd ever pull out of this stupor."
"I did not need to hide from tasks that caused me pain. Instead, I met them head-on.”
"Then, all of a sudden, I felt light and alive, as if I was diving into a
refreshing lake. The heaviness left my body, and I could understand some
of the equations on the sheet in front of me. Realism accompanied the
optimism, affirming that the tasks would test me and I would not succeed
at every one, but a newfound resilience moved me forward."
